We have been advised by the Contractor that they were unable to carry out the works due to adverse weather causing the river to flow too fast for safe diving practices.
The inspection will now commence on 30th October.
Description
Contractors (DSMC) are carrying out routine diving inspections of the structures at Victoria Bridge, Leeds Bridge and Crown Point Bridge to inspect the underwater elements.
The watercourse will be restricted at these locations due to divers in the river.
All boat traffic should slow down when approaching and take care when passing and abide by the contractors advice, this may result in delays of no longer than 15-20 minutes.
