JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A stretch of road in Riverside is back open after a suspicious backpack near a parking garage led to a response from the JSO Bomb Squad.

Police just reopened Riverside Avenue from Rosselle St. to Riverside Park Place.

Someone spotted a backpack on the sidewalk next to a parking garage adjacent to the I-95 North Park Street North off-ramp and the Fuller Warren Bridge.

No one was evacuated.  The bomb squad checked out the backpack.  Police found nothing dangerous and gave the all-clear just minutes ago.
