TWO lanes have reopened on the Eastern Bypass 'flyover' bridge in Cowley, four days after it was completely shut due to a lorry crash.

One of two eastbound lanes is now open to traffic, as well as one of two westbound lanes. 

Traffic was slow but moving in both directions this morning.

The bridge closed on Sunday night after a lorry veered through the central reservation and crashed through the nearside barrier, plunging seven metres to the road below (the B480 Garsington Road).

Repair work meant the flyover was not safe for drivers until this morning, though the road below reopened several days ago.

The lorry company blamed a pothole paired with icy conditions for the crash, but police are still investigating the cause.
