Hagg Bridge update

UPDATE
MESSAGE FROM SUTTON UPON DERWENT PC
@ 3:03pm, Friday 5th January 2024:
"We have just spoken with ERYC engineers regarding Hagg Bridge.

The temporary reopening of the bridge will end on Monday 8th January, as planned. All efforts are being made (including removal of surface water, which is ongoing) to ensure that work can commence from this point.

Whether work can commence or not from Monday will largely be down to weather/flood conditions over the weekend and into next week, but given the temporary nature of the surface on part of the bridge and its degradation over the festive period, the closure on Monday is deemed necessary regardless, on the grounds of safety.

If work cannot continue early next week, it is likely that the job will have to be pushed back, as colder weather is anticipated after this. If this is the case, ERYC will look to redo the temporary surface on the bridge to allow the bridge to reopen once again until such a time that conditions allow the work to continue."
