Works at a city centre bridge have been hit with delays. The Redcliffe Bridge - which has been shut since August 1 - is now not expected until November.
Bristol City Council had originally said the works were expected to take around 10 weeks to complete, meaning they should have been finished by mid October. The council also announced today (September 15) that the city centre bridge would close to all road users next week so the bridge’s bascule span can be lifted into the upright position.
In a statement, Bristol City Council said: "Contractors undertaking work on Redcliffe Bridge have confirmed it will close to all road users on Tuesday 20 September between eight to ten weeks, so the bridge’s bascule span can be lifted into the upright position.
