The M20 in Kent was closed in both directions for almost 24 hours between Junctions 3 and 4 at West Malling near Maidstone due to a serious incident. A lorry carrying a digger struck a footbridge over the motorway in the Londonbound direction.
Highways England has reassured the public that the remaining half of a footbridge which partially collapsed onto the M20 beneath is safe.
A lorry carrying a digger had struck the footbridge at 12.05pm on Saturday 27 August.
The organisation said that over Saturday night and on Sunday 'robust inspections' were made of the remaining elevated section of the footbridge, and that the inspections showed the structure to be safe. The operation to remove it will be done in the coming weeks.
The beloved British high street chain will disappear from Britain's towns on Sunday as the last stores closed down.
