WHITEHALL PLEDGES £8-MILLION TO REPAIR 'DAMAGED' A180 ROAD BRIDGES


The council has released this image to coincide with the announcement 

STRENGTHENING works are to be carried out on road bridges serving Grimsby and Immingham.

Whitehall has earmarked £8-million of levelling-up cash to "fix damaged bridges" along the A180 road.

The funding has been welcomed by North East Lincolnshire Council which states: "The funding will prevent months of disruption and help local industries to grow."

Grimsby MP Lia Nici, a junior minister in the Levelling-up Department, says the repairs will "boost connectivity".

The Grimsby News says: The award is to be applauded, but there is something worrying about the statement - the revelation that key road bridges are "damaged". Which bridges are they and what is the level of damage? How safe are they in their current state? When will they be repaired? Clarification is required.
