A busy road in Nantwich has been closed after a vehicle hit a canal bridge.

Police say the canal bridge at the bottom of Welsh Row is currently closed after being hit by a vehicle.

The closure is in place due to possible structural damage.

The Nantwich Aqueduct carries the Shropshire Union Canal over the A534 main road.

The duration of this closure is currently unknown.

Eye witnesses say the bridge was hit by a tractor with a trailer JCB, which left debris off the edge of the bridge across the carriageway.

It’s the second time in the past couple of weeks a major road has been shut after a vehiclke collided with a building.

Swine Market and High Street in Nantwich were closed for several days after a vehicle crashed into the Hope House Hospice building.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
