The vehicle caught fire around 6 p.m. Tuesday on the side of the bridge headed to New Jersey. All lanes on the northbound side were closed as crews work to clear the scene. Traffic on the bridge was being turned around and sent back to Delaware. 

Some lanes would eventually reopen, but all lanes didn't reopen until after midnight.
