Light at the end of the bridge? Council issues progress update on controversial (and costly) project

                                                              

Some of the coverings have now been removed from some sections of the bridge

North East Lincolnshire Council has today issued this  update on the long-running Corporation Road Bridge project:

Control room works are near completion and grit blasting is ongoing to Span 5 and Span 6. 

These works will pave the 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, passers-by can now see parts of the uncovered structure, showcasing the repairs.

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

Footway closures are also required while 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.
