The Roosevelt Island Bridge, which connects the island to Astoria, will be temporarily closed on Wednesday.

The Department of Transportation Division of Bridges will conduct routine testing on the bridge from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

During the test, the bridge will completely close for up to 15 minutes at a time. A second test may occur, but only after the first full test is concluded and any queued traffic, both pedestrian and vehicle, has emptied, the DOT said.

In order for the test to be completed the bridge has to be cleared of all traffic.

The DOT has alerted Emergency services and first responders of the tests.

A Brooklyn man was indicted by a Queens grand jury on charges of manslaughter, drunk driving and other crimes for a fatal collision in Astoria that killed his long-time girlfriend and mother of their young child in February.

Ray Perez, 27, of Caton Avenue in Flatbush, was arraigned Thursday in Queens Supreme Court on a 13-count indictment charging him with vehicular manslaughter for allegedly speeding through a stop sign in Astoria, colliding with another vehicle and slamming into two parked cars, and then driving nearly four miles away to a street in Maspeth before seeking help for his 29-year-old girlfriend Bridget Enriquez, who later succumbed to her injuries.
