The eastbound Southern State Parkway was briefly closed Thursday between Exit 25, Newbridge Road, and Exit 27, the Wantagh State Parkway.

State Police said the closure was caused by a vehicle fire.

All lanes were blocked because of the vehicle fire at about 1 p.m., but within an hour they had reopened, according to the state Department of Transportation website.
