A £3.8m scheme to upgrade the deck waterproofing and kerbs on the Tamar Bridge is nearing completion and is set to be finished by the end of November.
Traffic management arrangements were set to change today (Thursday) to allow contractors to move into the next phase of the work.
The nearside westbound lane on the south side of the main deck of the bridge will be reopened, while the nearside eastbound lane on the north side of the bridge will be closed.
During this phase the south cantilever lane will remain closed to pedestrians, cyclists and mobility scooters. Tamar Crossings says that both their minibus shuttle service and the scheduled bus service provided by CityBus will continue.
A new bus shelter at the top of Pemros Road has been erected to help identify the pick-up/set down point and to provide some shelter from inclement weather.
“While we have been able to continue with the project during the past few months, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the social distancing requirements has created some additional challenges for our contractors,” said a Tamar Crossings spokesperson.
“We are very grateful to service users for their patience and would also like to thank everyone who has used the shuttle bus services to cross the bridge.”
