NEW YORK -- Smoke billowed from the George Washington Bridge after a car caught on fire Saturday.

That smoke could be seen across the Hudson River around 8 p.m.

The fire caused the lower level of the GWB to shut down, snarling traffic for hours.

The lower level has since reopened and traffic is back to normal.
