By Corporation Road Bridge investigative work continues
Investigative works are continuing this week on Corporation Road Bridge as above water level works are nearing completion.
The following works will all be complete by Friday the 18th of December:
- Testing of the bridge’s brick and steel
- Ultrasonic thickness testing
- Condition surveys
- Paint testing
However, due to water levels in the dock and advice from the Harbour Master, the dive inspections and under water testing required is unable to go ahead this week.
Specialist contractors will be returning on Monday the 4th of January to complete the outstanding under water testing works.
This will take three days to complete, with no traffic management or disruption to residents or businesses.
The data gathered will allow engineers to carry out the final detailed design planning and prepare to submit for the relevant planning approvals in the early part of 2021.
