Please be advised that there is currently an intermittent fault affecting the winding gear on this bridge. As a result, it may take more turns than usual to fully open the bridge.

We kindly ask for your patience while operating the bridge.

Our contractors have been instructed to attend as soon as possible to investigate and resolve the issue if possible.

We appreciate your cooperation and will update this notice as soon as further information becomes available.

Thank you.
