The incident occurred at around 8.00am on Thursday August 12 causing delays of up to 40 minutes and three miles of congestion eastbound and significant damage to the carriageway.

The recovery of the 100t crane meant the eastbound carriageway was closed overnight for recovery and resurfacing.

The road fully reopened to two way traffic at 3.30am.
