BOSTON (WHDH) - The eastbound lanes of Soldiers Field Road near Storrow Drive are reopened after a truck hit the Boston University Bridge late Monday night.

The lanes were shut down as crews worked early Tuesday morning to clear the truck, whose top and sides were torn apart when it tried to scrape by the bridge. Crews said part of Soldiers Field Road may be closed for another two to three hours as they take the truck apart and offload it.

This comes just a few weeks after a tractor-trailer struck the BU Bridge and rolled over onto the eastbound lanes, forcing officials to close the lanes during the morning commute for a few hours as crews cleared the scene. The hazmat team also assisted in fuel cleanup.
