Dramatic in-car dashcam footage showed the moment where the arm of an excavator collided with an overhead bridge along Balestier Road last Friday (21 July).

The video was posted on Roads.sg on Monday night (24 July).

In the video, which was recorded from the opposite side of the road, the collision between the excavator arm and the overhead bridge causes a cloud of debris to fall from the bridge.

The beams of the bridge were then removed by the Land Transport Authority because it had become structurally unsound.

Two men who are employees of industrial transport company Jin Quan Eng have been arrested for causing damage to the bridge.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
