London's Tower Bridge is currently stuck in the upright position, stopping thousands of vehicles and pedestrians crossing the Thames

London's Tower Bridge is currently stuck in the upright position, stopping thousands of vehicles and pedestrians crossing the Thames.

It's being blamed on a"technical issue" and the City of London Corporation said it was"working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible". Pictures show both sides of its 76-metre opening in the vertical position - it is normally only lifted to allow ships to pass underneath. Yeah so tower bridge is broken.... blinding when I need to cross it to get home.... back over London Bridge I go then!
