Bridge Gets Hit Again But Fix Is Coming
Description
Leicestershire’s notorious “bashed bridge” took another hit yesterday when a big rig slammed into it, causing major traffic chaos and forcing hours-long road closures. This isn’t the first time — in just one year, it’s been struck 22 times, earning jokes from local firefighters and becoming a local legend. The truck driver’s cited for careless driving, and the incident’s under investigation. But finally, relief is on the way: a developer is funding a major project to lower the road near the bridge as part of a larger development, with temporary closures and new speed limits expected this summer. This long-term fix aims to finally end the endless collisions and bring lasting peace to the area.
