Teme Bridge - Mayor's pronouncement,

Click to enlarge.
The final plans are still to be completed, but the plan at the moment is to install a concrete slab across the entire width of the bridge to spread the load equally.  A pavement will be installed on one side only, with a narrow protective strip on the other to protect the railings.  This will allow the carriageway to be widened slightly.

As much work as possible will be done before the closure and off-site. The installation of a temporary road bridge has been ruled out.

Can't see that this has added much to our sum of knowledge!

Thank you - I think that is very useful information. It is good to know that any closure will be in 2012 and not in the run up to Christmas. It is always good to receive information from someone who knows rather than have to rely on the local gossip and speculation.

I rather like the local gossip and speculation - it's often more interesting than official communiques.
