A stretch of Holcomb Bridge Road was backed up Thursday morning after a bulldozer fell off a truck, Roswell police said.

The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. and the bulldozer and truck blocked a few lanes of traffic. Roswell police asked drivers to avoid the road, and eventually, a crane was brought in to lift the bulldozer back on to the truck.

All lanes were reopened by 10 a.m.
