Scale Lane Footbridge will temporarily close next month while complex maintenance works are undertaken to improve its reliability.
Following extensive investigations earlier this year, Hull-based consultancy, Mason Clark Associates, on behalf of the council, has developed a specialist maintenance programme to enhance the bridge’s reliability and support its long-term operation.
The works will include the replacement of key connection bolts within the bridge’s swing mechanism.
Trans Pennine Trail walkers and people cycling the route are advised to use the signed diversion via the Millennium Footbridge. In addition, pedestrians and cyclists will also be able to use Drypool Bridge to cross the river.
