I was told there was a fire on the Upper Swan Bridge, WA, over the weekend, and is now half closed. True?

Answer 1

Looks like it's true:

UPPER SWAN BRIDGE ON GREAT NORTHERN HIGHWAY:

Main Roads WA advises motorists that due to fire damage caused yesterday on the Upper Swan Bridge in Upper Swan, there is a 40km/h speed restriction in place over the bridge. All heavy permitted vehicles are re-directed to alternative routes.
