Third Party contractors have confirmed the bridge replacement works at Moss Swing Bridge will be deferred for one year. This winter's closure is therefore cancelled.

Description

Third Party Contractors will be carrying out the replacement of the existing swing bridge with a new, wider, bridge. The navigation will be open to traffic during weekends.

Please note the end date of this closure is currently shown as later than our normal winter closure period but we are awaiting final confirmation from the Third Party.
