New Destructor bridge now in place!

Seems the new Destructor Bridge – linking Western Riverside with the Upper Bristol Road – has now been lowered into place and is being secured.

Finally – the new bridge is spanning the River Avon.

This comes after a delay in finally being able to roll out the prefabricated structure across the River Avon, because of alignment problems.

A spokesperson for the contractors has told Bath Newseum:

‘The bridge was lowered into position yesterday and is being set into place today as planned.

In the coming weeks Britannia will undertake works to allow the towpath to reopen in early September’.
