Bridge connecting Saudi Arabia, Bahrain temporarily closed: Authorities

The major traffic artery connecting Saudi Arabia and the island nation of Bahrain was temporarily closed as a precaution, authorities said Tuesday, following the issuance of security alerts in the area.

"The movement of vehicles across King Fahd Bridge has been suspended as a precautionary measure," said the General Authority for King Fahd Causeway in a post online.

The King Fahd Causeway is a 25-kilometer (16-mile) series of bridges connecting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
