A LORRY carrying a JCB digger crashed as it tried to travel under a bridge on the A180.
One lane of the eastbound carriageway remained closed between Immingham and Stallingborough this morning, following the accident at about 4.45pm yesterday.
It is understood that the lorry's load was too big to pass under the bridge.
The digger was badly damaged, and damage was also caused to the bridge.
Concrete and other debris showered the motorway.
Initially, traffic was only temporarily affected and was able to pass by the scene relatively quickly.
However, officers closed the lane again shortly after 6pm to assess to integrity of the bridge.
A diversion is in place via the A160 and A1173.
