Drivers are being warned of possible delays at Bridge End in Belfast city centre after a skip lorry overturned.

It happened on Queen's Bridge close to the railway bridge.

The Short Strand area to Bridge End has been reduced to two lanes of traffic.

The railway line was briefly closed while a safety assessment of the bridge was carried out.

There was some disruption to train services, but Translink said the line was fully reopened by 09:15 BST.
