Looks like whatever it is is not on the bridge but on southbound side south of the bridge.

Yep, it looks unmoving.

I think I heard NMCI took over the maintenence contract for the bridge.

Ya you can see the emergency lights hitting the trees still. Must be just off camera.

They just released the units and terminated command. Should move soon.

From comments on the thread, not official reports, says they are turning vehicles around which leads me to believe the bridge will be closed for quite some time.

I think I heard the helo taking off just now

ChartWeb still shows no movement on the bridge and lots of flashing lights.

Ya I just got in touch with friends on the island that get off at 9 and told them about it and to check cam before heading out. That thing comes in handy

That is does. Traffic is starting to move but it looks like they are alternating traffic lanes across.

that sounds bad. Wonder why there are so many accidents on or near that bridge. It makes you want to stay away from it.

There is not much room when approaching the bridge or while on it. You gotta be paying close attention to what your doing. Does not take but a second to wander in another lane or wander to close to the sidewall and overcorrect the other way.

No place to let yourself get distracted.
