Lady Bay Bridge will not be fully reopened for "many weeks", a leading Nottinghamshire County Councillor has said. During an interview with Nottinghamshire Live, Transport and Environment Committee Chairman Neil Clarke said that repairs could possibly take up to "a few months" following an incident yesterday (July 4) in which a lorry crashed off of the bridge - causing significant damage.
The bridge has been closed in both directions following the crash and councillor Clarke reiterated the council's plan to open the bridge in one direction next week. Which direction that will be remains to be seen, but the bridge will remain closed for the remainder of this week.
Cllr Clarke stated that the council are still "in the unknown" until a full assessment is made.
