The temporary overpass we are providing to minimise disruption during our work is currently pending final approval to ensure it is safe to use.
The footbridge will remain closed until further notice.
Please follow the official diversion routes indicated by signage near the bridge and on the information boards.
We understand that this causes disruption for many residents and we are working hard to reopen as soon as possible. We will provide an update on the new reopening date to provide a shorter route once it has been confirmed.
Once Peronne Road footbridge has reopened, we will close the footbridge near the railway bridge further east for the duration of the flood defence work. We will not close the footbridge here until Peronne Road footbridge is reopened.
However, in preparation for work starting here, the access route on the north side of the moat underneath the railway will be closed off to the public from Monday, 20 January 2025. This will allow for preparatory work and material delivery to the construction area to raise the flood defence level either side of the railway. Please use the short diversion on the south side of the moat.
Thank you for your ongoing cooperation and patience during this time.
