Motorists in Cornwall are advised to allow extra time to travel on the A38 as temporary traffic signals and a speed limit are in place following damage to a bridge.
National Highways confirmed parapets on the bridge over the River Fowey near Bodmin Parkway station were badly damaged after a three-vehicle collision on Saturday afternoon (15 June).
Following the crash, the A38 was closed in both directions between the A30 at Dobwalls and the A390 at Carminnow Cross. The road remained blocked as of 4.15pm on Sunday, with delays in the area.

A National Highways spokesperson said: "To ensure the continued safety of drivers using the bridge, temporary traffic lights have been installed at either side of the bridge. A further 40mph speed limit is also in place.
"The measures are expected to be in place until the parapets have been fixed, with delays expected, especially in the lead-up to the peak summer period. Drivers are advised to plan ahead, allow more time for their journeys, and to find alternative routes if at all possible."
