A statement has been released by Councillor Mike Garvey which will be a relief to many. Vital works from 16th June until October will be carried out away from the highway and will create no disruption to traffic or pedestrians. From 27th October work will be done overnight for two weeks from 7.00pm to 6.30am for works on the barrier. This will require a lane closure and temporary traffic lights. Cheshire West and Chester Council have worked with The Rivers and Canals Trust after strong concerns from the community over the initial proposals.
The Trust will give updates about further testing next year as the bridge celebrates its Centenary Year.
