Update 5 June 2026, 3:32pm

Our contractors are currently experiencing some difficulties in getting a team to site. We will provide a further update as soon as we have confirmation that the obstruction has been cleared.

Original 5 June 2026, 9:33am

A tree has fallen from the offside and is currently blocking navigation at Bridge 91, Fradley.

Due to the size of the tree, specialist contractors have been arranged to attend and carry out its removal, as it is too large for the local operations team to manage safely.

We are aiming for the obstruction to be cleared by the end of today and will provide a further update once works have been completed.
