Broadmead Road Update - Wednesday 14 January 2025

• An overview of the Principal Inspection, Hammer Tapping, and Concrete Testing findings.
• Updates on the current status of works.
• Details of the future programme of works.

We hope this summary proves helpful, as the reports are highly detailed and complex.

In addition, the Council has completed the installation of replacement lamp columns on the bridge. These new aluminium columns are lighter and slightly smaller than the previous ones, allowing for manual installation since vehicles cannot access the bridge.

Hand-gritting of the road and footway on the bridge is being carried out at appropriate times of cold weather to ensure safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists using the bridge.

The Council is awaiting the first set of technical reports which will determine the current structural load capacity of the bridge which once received will be analysed and reported on through this page.
