STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Delays are reported on the Brooklyn-bound Staten Island Expressway during the Wednesday morning rush hour. A crash at Bradley Avenue is contributing to delays, likely compounded by the remnants of slush, ice and snow from a major storm that dumped about a foot of white powder on the borough last weekend. A right lane is closed during the emergency response that began around 7:45 a.m., according to 511NY.

Construction is near Lake Spaulding, about 25 miles west of Truckee.

Work on the westbound bridge is slated for the spring.
