One of two pedestrian bridges across the River Avon into the centre of Bristol is set to be closed for nine months until the end of the year for repair work, after Bristol City Council initially said it would only shut for 12 weeks.
Gaol Ferry Bridge, which connects Coronation Road in Southville with Cumberland Road and the Wapping Wharf development, is in need of vital repair work.
Repairs began in December 2021, although the bridge remained partially open, and it was expected to close in early January and reopen in late March.
