Finchingfield Bridge - temporary closure for repairs

Following a vehicle strike to Finchingfield Bridge last week, engineers have inspected the structure and have planned necessary repairs to the damaged parapets. 

These works are due to begin on Monday 16 March and are expected to take approximately five days to complete.

To keep everyone safe, the B1053 at Finchingfield Bridge will be fully closed 24/7 hours a day during the works, with arrangements in place to allow emergency services and bus services are able to pass through the works when needed.

Signed diversion routes will be in place for all other vehicles.

We urge all drivers to take additional care when travelling in the area, allowing extra time and following all signage in place.

Please be aware that dates may change at short notice if we experience unsuitable weather conditions, or if unexpected issues arise.
