Although temperatures have dropped slightly for now, the bridges remain unreliable at present and delays should be expected, particularly if / when weather warms up again.   The Port team will continue doing all they can do open the bridge(s) for customers as early  as can be arranged in the mornings, irrespective of tide times, but subject to availability of layby space at Sharpness.   Please contact the Pierhead on 01453 0511968 at least 24 hours in advance, to discuss your arrangements.   We will update this notice when the position improves
