Tower Bridge in London experienced severe traffic disruption after being left stuck open due to technical issues during a cruise ship lift at 6 a.m. The bridge's closure blocked the road between Tower Hill and Queen Elizabeth Street, causing significant congestion through central London, reaching Limehouse and Aldgate. Additionally, rail services faced delays due to a broken rail in the Finsbury Park area and other disruptions affecting several lines, including Thameslink and South Western Railway. Commuters are advised to expect delays throughout the day as authorities work to resolve these issues.
