The Great Belt Bridge in Denmark has been closed for pocketwagons with semi-trailers. The reason is an almost accident, where a trailer threatened to drop off a moving train as it was not properly attached. A fatal accident took place on the same bridge two years ago, when parts of a semi-trailer came loose and hit a passenger train. The bridge is closed at least until 27 January 2021. The closure applies to all types of trailers regardless of the connection type.
