- Traffic is being diverted away from the famed Manhattan-to-Brooklyn corridor
- The unattended vehicle on the Brooklyn Bridge has no plates
(CNN) -- New York's Brooklyn Bridge has been closed to traffic after an unattended, suspicious vehicle was found on the bridge, a New York Police Department spokesman said Monday.
The vehicle was found in the right lane of the Manhattan bound side of the bridge, mid-span.
Traffic was diverted, as video from CNN affiliate WABC showed police vehicles blocking access.
The vehicle has no plates, nor does it have a vehicle identification number, according to Christopher Miller, a spokesman with the New York City Office of Emergency Management.
CNN's Rob Frehse and Jason Kessler contributed to this report.
