Bridge in New York gets stuck open due to heat 

Third Avenue Bridge, which connects New York the Bronx to Manhattan, got stuck in an open position due to the high heat on Monday, the BBC writes.

FDNY officers arrived in boats and fired water at the structure to try and cool down the metal, which expanded after high temperatures in the city, officials say.

The incident caused major traffic delays during one of the hottest days of the year in New York but reopened on the same day.
