The bridge has now been repaired and tested. Navigation has reopened.

Description

The swing bridge currently cannot be opened to boat traffic due to damage to the swinging mechanism. A team have attended but were unable to carry out a repair on the spot.

The team will return in the morning, Sunday 26th February with further equipment and materials, to attempt to swing the bridge for boat traffic and carry out a repair.

This notice will be updated with further information as soon as possible.
