A truck crane within a construction zone on a UK highway became wedged under a bridge, causing hours of delays near Avonmouth, Bristol, on Monday. A video clip of the incident was uploaded to Facebook by Scott Davies, a work colleague of the man who filmed it. Within the clip, the crane is shown halted at the bridge, seemingly stuck against the overpass.
A spokesman told Deadline News, “The safety of our road users is paramount, and the road was closed following the incident while structural engineers carried out a full inspection and assessment to ensure the structural integrity of the bridge.”
Thorough inspection revealed that the bridge structure was not damaged, however some minor surface repair work was needed. Highways England is continuing to investigate the incident.
