THE A465 was closed near Llangua for about five hours yesterday afternoon after a lorry crashed into a bridge.
Nobody was hurt in the incident, but it did force the closure of a busy road near the border.
West Mercia Police responded to the incident at around 3pm and made the decision to close the road.
