Temporary bridges to be removed
The two temporary footbridges, installed to shorten pedestrian routes during construction, will be removed in the new year and we need to briefly close them to do this.
Peronne Road temporary bridge
- Closing for dismantling from Monday 19 January 2026
- Expected closure: up to 3 weeks, but we will reopen earlier, as soon as it is safe to do so
- Diversions will be in place (see map)
- Once removed, Peronne Road footbridge will remain open for the rest of the work (with a manned level crossing in place which will close occasionally for a few minutes for site vehicles to cross the bridge.)
London Road temporary bridge (Portsbridge roundabout car park)
- Closing for dismantling from 6 March 2026
- The footpath along the car park will reopen at the same time, providing a shorter route
- Occasional short closures may be needed for slipway work, but we will give advance notice
Thank you in advance for your patience as we complete this final phase.
