Dangling crane causes jams

By Jalelah Abu Baker

ROADS around Ardmore Park area were closed to morning rush-hour traffic and the Pan-Island Expressway was jammed for hours on Thursday after parts of a large crane atop a building in a nearby condominium site threatened to fall onto the road.

Police received a call on Wednesday night at about 11.20pm about a crane dangling at the Ardmore Park site, near the Shangri-La Hotel.

The crane had broken into two parts, with part of it dangling from the top of an uncompleted 36-storey building.
