Lincoln Bridge damaged by dump truck

Another bridge in the province has been damaged because of an accident…forcing detours for regular users.

Drivers travelling between Oromocto and Fredericton through Lincoln now have to detour after a dump truck hit the Lincoln Bridge yesterday morning. The dump truck had its box up, smashed into the overhead girders and got stuck.

The bridge has been closed to all traffic until an engineering assessment is done.
