A section of the A47 has reopened after a woman jumped from a bridge on Friday morning (August 11).

A police spokesperson said: “This was a concern for welfare incident for a woman on the bridge over the A47.

"She jumped and has been taken to hospital, but her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.”
