We have heard that at last work on the footbridge at Castle Road is to resume this week and will continue until the end of July 2026.
The new steel bridge has been built offsite and will be lifted into position using a crane after the existing supports have been strengthen/rebuilt. Once in place the utilities currently running on temporary supports will be moved onto the new bridge. When that is complete Network Rail will resurface the footpath and improve the local drainage.
National Rail have given notice that some of the work may take place at night when trains aren’t running and that a temporary parking suspension will be in place along the full length of Castle Road and that there will be temporary closures of the footpaths at Evelyn Way and Willows Path.
