A bridge in Lemmer, Friesland, was raised on Tuesday while traffic was still on it. Drivers were shocked, but no one was injured.
The incident occurred on a bridge over the Prinses Margriet Canal near the lock. A car and a truck were still on the bridge as it opened, Rijkswaterstaat confirms following reports from the Leeuwarder Courant.
