Updates
As part of the final phase of the Bidford‑on‑Avon River Bridge repair programme, isolated road closures will be required from Monday 28 September. These closures will take place between 9:30am and 3pm, Monday to Friday, and will temporarily prevent vehicular crossing of the bridge during these hours.
The closures are necessary to provide a safe working environment for our operatives while they dismantle the scaffolding structure that has supported the works throughout the project.
These arrangements will be in place for up to two weeks, although current planning indicates that the dismantling process is expected to take approximately one week, subject to favourable weather conditions and stable river levels. High winds or elevated water levels may affect the pace of work, and we will adjust the programme accordingly to maintain safe working practices.
Once the scaffolding has been removed, our project team will continue with stone repair works throughout October. These activities will be carried out within standard daytime working hours and are not expected to require further road closures, although minor, short‑duration restrictions may be implemented if needed to protect workers and road users.
We appreciate the patience and cooperation of residents, businesses, and road users as we complete this essential heritage and infrastructure project. Further updates will be provided as the works progress.
