Project update 2 August

Works to repair Cleveland Bridge are continuing with removal of the damaged concrete supporting the deck and a temporary footway laid on the west side.

On the opposite side of the bridge the heritage kerbs and drainage have been removed. Following a detailed inspection by engineers which have shown the extents are worse than previously identified, every repair has been assessed to decide how the works will be carried out. These include structural repairs that require extreme care and so a limited number can be completed at any one time.

There are a series of repairs scheduled to take place from August 9 to August 23 and September 13 to September 16 that will mean the bridge will need to be closed to emergency vehicles.

Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the bridge, but cyclists will need to dismount during these periods and use the pedestrian walkway.
