Serious crash causes traffic delays on Braga Bridge

A serious crash on I-195 on the Braga Bridge, approaching Fall River, has triggered significant traffic backups in Bristol County, Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) said the eastbound lanes of the Braga Bridge are expected to remain closed for several hours while crews respond. In contrast, MassDOT reported that the westbound lanes would reopen shortly. NBC 10’s traffic cameras showed a long delay leaving Fall River, stretching deep into “Scholarship City” along the highway. NBC 10 contacted the Massachusetts State Police, which declined comment and referred inquiries to the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office. The situation is ongoing.
