With approximately 5,000 vehicles crossing the bridge during peak hours, National Highways will invest £7 million to carry out essential repairs aimed at extending the structure’s lifespan and preventing future unplanned closures. Constructed in the 1970s, the Over Bridge requires comprehensive work that includes concrete repairs, installation of new waterproofing, improved drainage systems, and other structural enhancements.
