Bridges

Major restoration works to Grade II listed structure, Corporation Road Bridge, have continued, with coverings removed from large sections.

Control room works near completion, grit blasting is ongoing to Span 5 and Span 6. These works will make way for a final assessment to determine any further required repairs.

Scaffold removal is in progress to Spans 2 and 3 and final painting works to these sections are also underway. With sections of the bridge having undergone full paintworks and other areas still to be completed, passersby can now see parts of the uncovered structure, showcasing the impressive repairs.

To take advantage of anticipated low tide levels, weekend working will 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 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.

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.
