TL;DR

The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge, connecting Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, has reopened after being closed for hours due to a bomb threat. Covington police determined the threat to be non-credible, and the FBI will be investigating the incident. The closure was prompted by an anonymous 911 call threatening to place pipe bombs on the bridge and demanding $400,000. As a precaution, nearby businesses were evacuated, and river traffic was temporarily halted. No one has been taken into custody, and Cincinnati police have referred questions to Covington authorities.
