Street light collapses on Derry bridge
The dual carriageway bridge was reduced to one lane on either side today to facilitate the works.
Teams were witnessed working on both sides of the bridge.
Strong gusts have swept in across the north west over recent days, although it is not clear whether this played a part in the collapse.
