Third-party contractors will be carrying out specialist underwater inspections to assess scour of the bridge abutments. A specialist access team will be working in the water during these investigations.

Boaters are advised to proceed with caution and be aware that a person may be in the water. Please follow all instructions given by the contractors on site.

There may be short delays of up to 30 minutes while navigation is temporarily held to allow the works to be carried out safely. Passage will resume as soon as it is safe to do so.
