Lady Bay Bridge update as road opens in one direction following serious lorry crash
Lady Bay Bridge has now reopened in one direction following a serious lorry crash last week. The announcement from Nottinghamshire County Council follows a week of traffic and disruption in the area.
The bridge has partially reopened today for motorists travelling out of Nottingham City thanks to the installation of temporary concrete barriers making the bridge safe for traffic whilst works on a permanent repair are completed. The southbound direction has been chosen for the partial reopening to make sure that congestion doesn’t build up in the city and affect the movement of emergency vehicles.
Pedestrians and cyclists have been able to use the path on the bridge during the closure and now that part of the road has reopened, cyclists are being asked to dismount and use the path due to the narrow lanes on the bridge. Councillor Neil Clarke MBE, Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “It is great news that the bridge is now open to some traffic.
“We know that the closure has caused disruption and we’d like to thank motorists for their patience whilst we have been working to make the bridge safe and get it reopen as soon as possible. We will continue to work hard on getting the bridge fully reopen as soon as possible and ask that motorists continue to plan ahead when making journeys into and around the area.
“We have been working with local event organisers to make them aware of the updates and arrangements and will continue to do so while we work towards a full reopening.”
