Bristol City Council has said it will need to close part of Prince Street Bridge tomorrow (Friday, May 27) so two pieces of heavy machinery can be lifted out of the bridge.
All road traffic will be diverted to Redcliffe Bridge, while pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained. The bridge, which was built in 1879, is a Grade II-listed iron swing bridge across the harbour and the council says the closure is to allow for "urgent" repairs.
A spokesperson for Bristol City Council said: "We urgently need to repair a mechanism that allows Prince Street Bridge to swing open. Tomorrow's work will involve lifting the hemisphere and piston out of the centre press.
