A £1-million plan to finally fix Kingsweston Iron Bridge, which shut in 2015, has made major progress this month.
The historic footbridge was closed seven years ago after a lorry driver drove into it, leaving walkers cut off from Blaise and Kings Weston estates. A second lorry drove into it in 2018.
But now Bristol City Council has applied for planning permission to reinstall and raise the eight-metre long bridge, marking a milestone in efforts to repair and reopen it.
