Cambridgeshire County Council has released a statement regarding the extension of the closure of March Town Bridge until 4 April 2025.
“The extension of time required for the works at March Town Bridge are a result of safety concerns on site.Our contractor Milestone Infrastructure have a clear policy of “Working Safely or Not at All”, which is fully endorsed by Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC); this was called into practice during the works at March Town Bridge. Our priority is to ensure the safety of network users, the safe repair of CCC assets and to ensure that work is delivered to, or above, the required standard.
“The additional 5 days of navigation closure will ensure that the structural repairs which are being undertaken are left in a safe, satisfactory, and suitable condition for this boating season. We appreciate the impact of navigational closures and have worked with all stakeholders to minimise impact without compromising safety. May we take this opportunity to thank all for their cooperation during these works.”
