ANCHORAGE, Alaska—The side fencing and roof of a pedestrian bridge fell in strong wind early Sunday, closing the main highway south of Anchorage in both directions until the debris could be cleared.

No one was hurt when the structure fell onto the Seward Highway on the south side of Alaska’s biggest city, according to the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities.
