A huge 120-tonne bridge slipped off the back of a specialised heavy load vehicle after being lifted by a crane as part of demolition works. The incident took place in Regent Street, Leeds as contractors worked on the A64 bridge replacement works that will see a new £31million flyover installed in the city centre. The Regent Street Inner Ring Road had been closed since yesterday evening for 'bridge demolition works'. In a statement posted this morning, Leeds City Council said: 'Essential work to demolish and rebuild the northern section of Regent Street Flyover is currently ongoing. Work on the Leeds Regent Street flyover project, that is estimated to cost £31million, began last May and is expected to last two years.
