Description
Sheffield Swing Bridge is currently closed to boat traffic. An engineering team visited the bridge this evening and a mechanical element needs replacement to enable the bridge to operate. A replacement part is being sourced first thing tomorrow morning and we will post an update once the bridge is fully operational.
Thank you for your patience in this matter.
