A lorry hit the underside of the Pier on Thursday
Southport Pier has reopened after a lorry driver hit its underside while trying to drive under it.
Pier bosses said Thursday's incident was a "devastating" blow as they try to revive business after lockdown.
The lorry "scraped off" some paint and the pier was partly shut while structural assessment took place.
In a Facebook post, external, Southport Pier Pavillion said it was "ecstatic" to be opening again and hoped to have more visitors next week.
