Emergency Services have removed a 45 tonne crane which topped over on the Hexham Bridge.
Police say the crane was heading up the northbound on-ramp when the crash happened at about 6.30pm on Tuesday.
The driver managed to escape and wasn't injured.
However, there are major delays for drivers on the bridge in both directions.
Police say it appears speed was a factor in the crash.
