Work to reinforce Branston Bridge, so it can open to traffic, remains on track to complete next month.

Over the last few weeks, crews excavated the road on the southern part of the bridge and poured in two layers of concrete to create the strengthening saddle.

They also worked with utility services to safely remove an old disused cast iron pipe from the bridge.

The team additionally trimmed back some of the bramble growth to clear the path during the school half-term holiday.

As you can see in the above picture, particular care is being taken to install a support system for the high-pressure water main running through the bridge.

The next couple of weeks will see the highways team continue to excavate the final part of the bridge so that the last strip of the concrete saddle can be created.

The bridge remains on track to reopen on 10 July.

The next Parish Council meeting will be held Monday 11th November 2024, 7pm at Elford Village Hall
