Customer Advice
A driver of an articulated lorry has elected to drive a route not suitable for the weight and length of their vehicle. This vehicle has collided with a road-over-rail bridge on Ebbw Vale Road lane, Aberbeeg.
In attempting to free the lorry, the railway infrastructure has been damaged and the lorry has sunken into roadside verges. Recovery staff are currently unable to free the lorry. Local roads are also congested and disrupted.
