Traffic Grinds to a Halt as London's Tower Bridge Gets Stuck Open

London’s Tower Bridge “experienced technical issues” on August 22, causing it to be locked in a raised position.

Local media reported that vehicles in the area were left at a standstill for several hours while the issue was rectified.

The BBC reported that the bridge originally opened to allow a ship to pass through, but was then unable to close fully, leaving hundreds of vehicles stranded. Credit: @pilksink via Storyful
