Brooklyn Bridge reopens after cops check suspicious car

An abandoned SUV at the base of the Brooklyn Bridge shut down traffic in both directions during the evening commute Monday.

Cops allowed traffic back on the bridge at 7 p.m. after a police bomb squad searched the vehicle, which had no license plates, in the right lane of the Manhattan-bound side, that was spotted at 5:15 p.m., the NYPD said.

Live video from WCBS/2 showed an officer fully dressed in protective gear searching the SUV.
