The Stadsbrug (City Bridge) in Weert has been open to all traffic again since July 3 at 10 a.m. Shipping traffic had been halted following the allision of the ' Anna'. On July 2 shortly before 6:00 p.m., the bridge closed down onto the inland vessel that was attempting to pass under the Stadsbrug on the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal, heading towards Nederweert. Only on July 3, Rijkswaterstaat succeeded in moving the vessel out from under the bridge. Report with photos: https://www.l1nieuws.nl/nieuws/3202990/stadsbrug-in-weert-weer-open-na-botsing-met-boot
Ship got stuck under bridge
On July 2, 2026, at around 6 p.m., the 'Anna' got stuck under the Stads Bridge in Weert, when the movable section of the bridge suddenly began to descend while it was passing underneath, transiting the South-Willemsvaart Canal from Antwerp towards Nederweert. Emergency services quickly arrived at the scene to assess the situation. No injuries were reported. The ship sustained damage to its bow, including the radar system. Immediately after the incident, the South-Willemsvaart was closed to shipping traffic. Road traffic across the bridge was able to resume later that evening. Rijkswaterstaat has since reported that the vridge was back to normal operation and the waterway closure has been lifted.
