Update history

Mon, Aug 17

Blackbrook Cattle Bridge remains closed while we await an inspection by our engineer. Following the site visit, we will assess the condition of the bridge and determine any next steps required before it can be safely reopened.

We will provide a further update as soon as more information becomes available.

Sat, Aug 15

The bridge is closed due to rotten and missing decking boards. The condition of the deck means the bridge is unsafe for use, and access is prohibited until repairs can be completed. Our local operations team have been notified and will attend as soon as possible. The bridge will remain closed until the structure has been made safe. We will provide further updates as soon as we can. Thank you for your patience while we carry out essential safety work.

Conditions can change. Check local signage and the latest official notice before travelling.
