This is confirmed by the bridge watchman opposite Nordjyske.
– I have tried a couple of times to get the flaps to go down, but there is apparently something completely wrong with the steering. At least the flaps won’t go down. Technicians have been called in to look into the matter, the bridge guard informs Nordjyske.
The problems arose at around 09:00.
Here the flaps were up to let a sailing ship pass. When the bridge guard then wanted to lower the flaps again, the flaps would not go down.
A long queue of waiting cars quickly formed on both sides of the bridge flaps.
– But motorists have started to turn around on the bridge. After all, it is not dangerous when there is no oncoming traffic, explains the bridge guard, who, like the North Jutland Police, encourages people to use the Limfjord tunnel if they are going south.
– We have a patrol car to keep on the bridge to keep an eye on the situation, but the barriers are down and there is a red light signal, so there is nothing more we can do right now, says warden Karsten Højrup Kristensen.
The bridge can go upwards, but the warden estimates that the bridge cannot be closed for the last 60-70 centimetres.
At 09.25 the buses were allowed to turn around on the bridge, and many passenger cars have already turned around.
