Tower Bridge was stuck open for more than an hour, leaving hundreds of people and vehicles stranded in central London.
The famous crossing failed to close after allowing a ship to pass along the River Thames on Saturday afternoon.
Pictures show queues of motorists and pedestrians forming on both sides.
City of London Police said engineers rushed to fix the bridge. It has reopened to pedestrians but motorists have been urged to find another route.
A witness said they overheard talk of "multiple failures" on security radios.

Sounds like somebody forgot to oil the squeaky old thang lol... It's kind of funny that everyone thinks this is "London Bridge" because it has so much character with the towers and London Bridge is so famous, but the real London Bridge very close to this bridge really does look like it falling down... at least it did the last time I saw it... I wasn't all that impressed with "Big Ben" either.... I don't think I would want to go back to London if I had a free ticket lol... I would like to hang out with Harry and his lady, and Harry's brother and his wife are OK too, and I miss their mom, Diana, but I don't care much for the rest of the Brexiters who think they are too good for the rest of Europe...
