Vauxhall Bridge has been shut in both directions this evening after a crash in central London.
The bridge that links Pimlico and Vauxhall is closed today (Sunday 9 November) from at least around 7pm.
A road closure is in place between Grosvenor Road and Vauxhall Cross, with traffic held on both sides of the river while the incident is dealt with.
According to traffic scanners, the closure is due to a crash.
There is no indication about any injuries at this time, and emergency services have been contacted for more information.
Five bus routes — the 2, 36, 87, 186 and 360 — are being diverted from the area while the bridge stays shut.
Vauxhall Bridge is one of the busiest crossings in central London, carrying traffic between Vauxhall and Pimlico, and the closure is likely to cause delays on the roads around both ends of the bridge while it remains in place.
It is the second major road closure in London this evening. West Green Road in Wood Green is also closed in both directions after a crash, between Clinton Road and La Rose Lane, with four bus routes diverted there. Three people were arrested earlier today after a pursuit ended in the closure of the M40 near the M25.
