17 April 2024 Update

Unfortunately, the process has proved to be more time consuming than originally anticipated. The revised completion date is 16 May 2024. The contractor has brought in two additional welders to increase the work output, and believes the updated programme is realistic and workable

During this period the bridge will be closed between 9.00am and 3.00pm. This will allow the mail and school traffic to get through during this time.

The contractor have advised Emergency Services and will work closely with them in the event of an emergency. Dates and times of closures have been advertised in the local newspaper and on the radio. There has also been a letter drop and signage placed advising of the dates and times of the closures onsite.

The following restrictions continue to apply:

• Weight limit of six tonnes and speed limit posted on the bridge.
• One vehicle to cross the bridge at a time.
• Vehicles to travel central to the bridge.
