The Clifton Suspension Bridge is set to face a six-hour closure for three days later this month. The bridge will be closed to traffic and cyclists from 9.30am to 3.30pm between Tuesday, June 21 and Thursday, June 23.
This is to allow engineering inspections of the iron chains of the bridge, maintenance of the weigh beams on each side of the bridge, and completion of other planned annual tasks to take place. A diversion route will be signed using Bridge Valley Road, Brunel Way and A369 Rownham Hill.
Trish Johnson, bridge master, said: “Every year it is necessary to carry out an annual inspection to parts of the bridge. We are taking advantage of the hopefully good weather to inspect the chains and carry out some annual maintenance.
