\n The vehicle struck the overpass at Treeswoodhead around 2.50pm on Wednesday, causing rubble and bricks to fall onto the carriageways.\n<\/p>\n
\n This prompted a police response and saw a full road closure so that structural engineers could assess the damage.\n<\/p>\n
\n The northbound section of the road reopened shortly after the incident, but the southbound section remained closed for over seven hours while inspections took place.\n<\/p>\n
\n No injuries have been reported and the police are trying to trace the vehicle.\n<\/p>\n
\n Sergeant Brian Simpson said: \u201cThis vehicle has been travelling south when it, or its load, has collided with the underside of the bridge.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThis has caused damage to the structure and caused debris to fall, with other motorists having to take evasive action.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe vehicle may have been carrying a high sided load but will have felt the contact with the bridge. It is imperative that we trace this vehicle and the driver.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI\u2019d ask anyone who was on the A77 yesterday afternoon travelling south, or who saw what happened, to provide any relevant dash-cam footage or information as soon as possible.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
