Corporation Road Bridge update: Footpath closures and weekend working in September 2024

Final underdeck repair works continue to Spans 1- 4 and further design works have been progressing to lifting section of Span 4.

Painting works continue to Spans 1 and 2 and 3 and these works are nearing completion. Final painting has been completed on the North trusses of Spans 5 and 6 as well as to the counterweight area. With most sections of the bridge having undergone full painting works and sections of scaffolding soon to be removed, it is easy to imagine how impressive the restored structure will be once reopened.

To take advantage of anticipated low tide levels, weekend working is required. Footpath closures are also required whilst works are taking place adjacent to public areas to ensure the safety of both the public and the contractor.

Footpath closures will take place between 9am and 4pm each weekday. The footway will remain open during the weekend working dates. Temporary signs will be in place for the footway closures.
