Commuters are being urged to use public transport where possible after two people were killed in a head-on collision on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with traffic banked up for kilometres.
Motorists have been told to avoid the Sydney Harbour Bridge and use public transport after a head-on collision killed two drivers, hospitalised a pregnant woman and caused traffic to be banked up for kilometres.
Southbound lanes and three of the four northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge were closed for several hours before two lanes in both directions were reopened about 4.20pm. All lanes have since reopened, but delays were expected into Thursday night. “There will be numerous members of certain families affected by this and we’ll be working throughout the night with the ongoing investigation to inform the family members of those people who passed away.”
Separate footage filmed in the immediate aftermath of the collision shows at least two hatchbacks and an SUV with significant damage blocking several lanes.
