Authorities have temporarily closed all eastbound lanes of the Brooklyn Bridge, which connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, in New York, New York, as of the evening of June 28. The move comes amid unspecified police activity in the area. Officials will likely provide updates over the short term and could rescind the lane closures or close additional lanes with little-to-no advance notice.
