London Bridge is Falling Down!
Aug 25, 2020
The nursery rhyme ‘London Bridge is falling down’ appears to have taken a whole new meaning after the Tower Bridge in the capital of England was stuck open for over an hour. The passersby and media captured several images of the opened bridge, where two arms can be clearly seen pointing upwards at different angles. This also resulted in the closure of traffic on the bridge, causing a jam in the middle of the day. A few hours later, it was open to pedestrians and cyclists, while being closed to traffic, as the City of London Police tweeted. The news attracted a number of hilarious responses from the netizens
In a tweet, the City of London Police informed the people that the bridge was closed. “Tower Bridge is currently closed to pedestrians and traffic, due to a mechanical fault. Mechanics are currently working hard to fix the bridge. Please find alternative routes.”
