A one-day off-peak closure of the Clifton Suspension Bridge on Tuesday 21 March will see repairs to the Leigh Woods weigh beam, repairs to the hangers and lighting works on the chains.
To enable these essential works to be carried out, the bridge will be closed to traffic and cyclists for one day, from 9:30am to 3:30pm. A diversion route will be signed using Bridge Valley Road, Brunel Way and A369 Rownham Hill.
Bridge Master Trish Johnson, said “We have some maintenance to carry out on one of our weighbeams which monitors the weight of vehicles crossing the bridge, so it is very important. We will also take advantage of the closure to replace some bolts on the hangers and to carry out lighting works.
“During these bridge closures pedestrians will still be able to use the bridge, using one of the footways but there will be no access for vehicles and cycling will be prohibited. Cyclists may dismount and walk across the bridge, but due to the narrow footways, are requested to avoid using the bridge if possible."
“Clifton Suspension Bridge Trust wishes to apologise for the inconvenience which this closure will cause. We hope that by keeping the road open during the morning and evening busier periods we will minimise the disruption caused.”
