Truck has hit Lough Atalia Bridge - Diversions in place

If anyone is planning a trip into town, better to avoid Lough Atalia rd for the moment.

I think something similar happened early last year and it was closed for 2 or 3 days.

Gardai there this morning diverting traffic from Lough Attaila up passed the bus station.
Traffic in other direction (eastbound) was allowed through under the bridge.
Repair crew were on site, ready to start work.
I could not see any visible damage..

if a certain truck company would teach their drivers about height restriction then everything would ok.

One of these would be better and cheaper.
