Gaol Ferry Bridge six month closure starts

Goal Ferry Bridge will shut for up to six months from Monday, June 6 as work to repair “corroding and rotting” steel beams starts.

It's one of two pedestrian bridges across the River Avon into the centre of Bristol. It connects Coronation Road in Southville with Cumberland Road and the Wapping Wharf development but is in need of vital repair work.

Despite Bristol City Council initially saying it would only shut for 12 weeks, the bridge will now be shut for six months.
