Coleridge Footbridge is unlikely to re-open this year due to the extent of the damage it has sustained from a fallen tree.
The structure has now been closed for just over a month and our inspections have revealed that the structural integrity of the main span of the bridge has been affected by the incident. The top chord of the truss has been damaged and the bridge deck has been twisted.
In order to avoid further damage or collapse the bridge needs to be completely removed and placed on the ground to enable repairs to be carried out.
