We have now received the following update from Network Rail on the bridge replacement. We will be following-up to find out if the contract has now been awarded and ask for more information re key dates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The designs have been received and signed off by all respective parties and engineers. These will form the base of our communications for the tender build up for construction which was issued last week for tendering by our new framework contractors. By end of November, we hope to have submissions and have awarded the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are currently looking at early 2025 to put in the new bridge. We know this is a public right of way, so we are committed to carrying out the work as quickly as possible. We are aiming to fully replace the structure and re-open the bridge and we are working hard to accelerate this as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once we have a firm program, we\u2019ll be writing to neighbours with further information, I would like to thank you for your continued patience, and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused while we sort this, and the work is taking place.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
