Work has started today on repairing the busy Wyther Lane bridge, which crosses the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
As reported last week, work to repair the bridge – which was damaged after being hit by a vehicle – will take three to five days.
Once the bridge – which is the responsibility of the Canal and River Trust – is repaired, the council’s highways department will put additional measures in place to reduce the likelihood of bridge strikes in the future.
Those measures – as yet unspecified – will take a further two weeks after which the council hopes the bridge should be in a position to reopen in early April.
