An ACT Policing spokesman said the truck was too tall for the bridge and got stuck underneath, causing debris to fall onto the road.

The truck was removed from the scene but a lane remained closed. The lane has since reopened.

An ACT Roads engineer attended to the scene, but Fire and Rescue and an ambulance were not needed.
