Tower Bridge was closed after a man climbed onto its railings, causing significant traffic disruptions and urging police to advise the public to steer clear of the area. Emergency services were called to the scene shortly before 11 am on March 10, which also led to diversions for buses due to congestion from Limehouse to Aldgate. Compounding the traffic issues, the Blackwall Tunnel was also shut southbound earlier due to a separate lorry crash. Authorities are managing the situation closely.

Emergency services were called to the bridge shortly before 11am today. The incident has sparked congestion to Limehouse back along the Highway and back to Aldgate.
