Cycling bridge linking Slovakia and Austria reopened

The well-known Freedom Cycling Bridge in the Bratislava borough of Devínska Nová Ves, which links Slovakia and Austria over the Morava River, was reopened on Wednesday. The cycling bridge, colloquially known as the Chuck Norris Bridge, was closed by the Slovak authorities on July 2 after a heavy lorry was spotted by surveillance cameras attempting to cross it from Austria to Slovakia. The lorry was unable to pass through the barriers on the Slovak side of the bridge, however, so the driver had to reverse back into Austria.
