The early morning news showed it closed southbound with some traffic
running northbound.

One northbound lane reopened on Saturday evening, but the viaduct needs
propping up, and teh southbound side isn't expected to reopen until Monday
morning.

In this evening's news it seems "that somebody must be done" and that
the existence of scrapyards under railway lines is to be investigated
(but no mention of various other businesses possessing inflammable or
explosive substances under hundreds of railway arches).
