A SECOND lane of the M40 has closed while a lorry which collided with a bridge is recovered.
Emergency roadworks are now taking place before the motorway can fully re-open.
The incident happened at around 10.30am on the southbound carriageway between junction 3, Loudwater, and junction 2, Beaconsfield.
Stuart Thompson of the Highways Agency said: "There wasn't a lot of damage caused to the bridge but as a precaution we have asked an engineer to look at the situation there.
"Lane one and lane two are closed while the vehicle is recovered."
A speed limit of 50mph is currently in place, with the road not due to fully re-open until 7pm.
