London’s Tower Bridge got stuck with its roadway arms open due to a technical issue, snarling traffic on either side of the River Thames. The bridge was repaired in 2006 after a series of malfunctions, which have been less frequent since then.
A boat sails down the River Thames in London, Monday Aug. 9, 2021 in front of Tower Bridge that is stuck in the fully open position due to a technical fault.
Images of the 127-year-old drawbridge, one of several spans that connect the northern and southern parts of the British capital, show the two halves of the roadway pointing skyward with vehicles backed up on either side. The bridge remained stuck at 6 p.m., more than three hours after the problems began.
The bridge opens about 800 times a year to allow large ships to pass, with the times arranged at least 24 hours in advance.
