A cargo ship struck the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge across the Delaware River on Thursday, disrupting vehicle traffic between Philadelphia and New Jersey in the US.
The collision left the bridge unable to close, causing major traffic congestion on the Philadelphia side, Pennsylvania State Representative Ed Neilson said in a social media post yesterday.
No injuries were reported.
Motorists travelling towards New Jersey were advised to use alternative routes.
Neilson said in his latest social media post that the vehicle traffic on the bridge should be fully operational in some time.
According to media reports, the vessel identified is the Singapore-flagged Strategic Alliance.
The incident recalls the March 2024 collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, which was struck by the 9,962 TEU Singapore-flagged container ship Dali.
