What we are doing
We will permanently close the bridge on 12 July to start preparation works and surveys. To be able to carry out these preparation works and surveys safely and effectively, we will need to put in place overnight lane closures on a section of A47 Heartlands Parkway.
There will be a lane closure in place from 13 to 16 August from 6.00pm to 5.00am. Access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times.
Network Rail line closures
Following preparatory works the demolition of the bridge will take place over the following weekends
• 14-16 August,
• 21-23 August,
• 28-31 August (August Bank Holiday Weekend) and
• 4-6 September.
To allow us to work safely as we demolish the bridge, we will need to close a section of the Network Rail line. To minimise the time that we need to close the railway line our demolition works will be carried out 24 hours a day during the 4 weekends.
