Angry residents have spoken out after being being told that Lady Bay Bridge could take as long as 12 weeks to reopen following a serious crash which destroyed part of the historic structure. Nottinghamshire County Council reopened part of the bridge in one direction on Monday (July 11), with motorists leaving Nottingham motorists able to use the road heading towards Rushcliffe thanks to the installation of temporary concrete barriers.
The bridge was initially closed in both directions for a week after a lorry crashed off the bridge on July 4. The driver did not suffer life-threatening or life-altering injuries.
Now, local residents have spoken out about the "ridiculous" timescale that has been set for the repairs, and the prospect of even more traffic on football matchdays with the start of the Premier League just around the corner.
