@adamcjc said on Twitter: “I’m not entirely sure what’s happened on Grosvenor Bridge, there’s a car facing southbound in the northbound lane and one of the wall blocks of the bridge looks as though it’s fallen into the river. Traffic backed up to Overleigh roundabout – hope everyone’s okay.”
Bus services using the A483 Grosvenor Road into Chester are currently being diverted.
