We are pleased to say work has finally started on the new footbridge at Castle Road. Work will continue until the end of July 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first task is to establish a temporary hard surface at the Castle Road end to prevent heavy equipment sinking into the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can sign up here <\/a>to receive updates as the work progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
