Hide AdA full closure of Duckpool Lane in the vicinity of the bridge will be necessary for the duration of the works as the repairs will render the bridge impassable to vehicles and pedestrians, and there will be no through road.
Access (or agreed alternative arrangements) to the land in the vicinity of the bridge will be agreed with the landowners.
The short local diversion route has been agreed in consultation with the Parish Council.
All diversion route signs will be distributed in accordance with requirements and will include advanced notice signage.
