Bridge incidents in New York, Philly cause big delays


Two toll bridge incidents caused big delays to traffic in the northeast Thursday. On the Tappan Zee Bridge of the New York State Thruway in Tarrytown a hole in the deck led to 20km (13 mile) backups. Two of the bridge's southbound (and eastbound) lanes were closed between 6am and 8:45 until a large steel plate could be placed over the hole.
