March 2021 update

We are pleased to say that the contract for the provision of temporary works designs, methodologies and specifications was awarded to Taziker on Friday 12 March.

We will now be working closely with them to develop proposals for a scheme of investigation and testing works. This will give us a more detailed understanding of the overall condition of the bridge including areas currently hidden from view.

Once the scheme has been developed it will have to be submitted to Historic England for Scheduled Ancient Monument consent before any physical testing can take place. This will then allow us to progress to the next stage which is to appoint a specialist Contractor to undertake the investigation and testing works.
