UPDATED 8.45AM: The bridge has now been reopened to traffic both ways.

 

A BRIDGE remains shut to traffic this morning (May 18).

The A1041 Ferry Lane at Carlton Bridge is currently closed both ways due to an incident from Low Street (Carlton) to Gowdall Lane (Snaith).

Police closed the road at about noon yesterday after a gas leak and there are reports that it could be shut for a number of days.

Traffic is coping well, but drivers are being asked to avoid the area if at all possible.
