Works to Grade II listed structure, Corporation Road Bridge, have been progressing, with grit blasting and painting works continuing to Spans 5 and 6.
The Northern footway has been waterproofed and is about to be surfaced to allow the switching of works to the opposite side. This switch is expected during the week commencing 31 March 2025.
As this work is undertaken, the pedestrian footway will switch from the South side of the bridge to the North side.
A final footway treatment will be added later in the works.
To take advantage of anticipated low tide levels, weekend working will also continue to take place next month.
Footway closures are also required whilst works are taking place adjacent to public areas to ensure the safety of both the public and the workers on site.
To help complete remaining sections of the works the footway may be closed for 1 or 2 days a week if conditions allow.
Footway closures will take place between 9am and 4pm each weekday as detailed below. The footway will remain open during the weekend working dates. Temporary signs will be in place for the footway closures.

North East Lincolnshire Council, its delivery partner, Equans, and contractor, Spencer Group, would like to thank the public for their patience whilst the work is being undertaken.
As Corporation Road Bridge is a construction site, it is important that the public respect the access restrictions in place, which have been introduced for safety reasons. Members of the public are reminded to please stay outside of all encapsulated and other working areas for their own safety, as well as that of those working there.
