Richard Waters, principal engineer – structuresat Lincolnshire County Council, said: “This is a difficult bridge to clean, so we have to bring in specialist equipment to get the job done.

“Due to the nature of the work, we’ll have to close the bridge while it’s carried out. However, it will look much better afterwards.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
