Penang Island City Council worked overnight to dismantle the pedestrian bridge as all lanes on Weld Quay were blocked after a trailer lorry crashed into it yesterday afternoon.

Yesterday, a trailer lorry carrying a crane on its flatbed crashed into the bridge, which has a 5m passage clearance. Jagdeep said the Penang Island City Council had to work non-stop from 4pm to 10am this morning to reopen both lanes on Weld Quay, which is the main thoroughfare in George Town. “The damaged bridge is beyond repair and has to be removed. It is a sad loss as it was a historic monument,” he said.
