A little over an hour ago, the New York City’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) tweeted at Notify NYC:
Due to police activity, the Queensboro/Koch Bridge is currently closed. Expect traffic delays in the area.
Shortly thereafter, the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) closed down the tram and issued this advisory at 10:03 PM:
Due to police activity on the 59th street bridge. The Tram service is temporarily suspended.
I was at the Tram at approximately 10:20 as Tram service was resuming
and at 10:29 PM a RIOC advisory reported:
The police activity is complete at this time. Tram service is now back to normal service.
