Corporation Road Bridge Update: Footway closures and weekend working in March 2025

Complex engineering work continues to grade II listed structure, Corporation Bridge.

Grit blasting continues to Span 5 and 6, alongside priming, chipping of excessive corrosion and substructure repair works.

Control room works are complete with painting in progress underneath as scaffolding is removed from Spans 2 and 3.

To take advantage of anticipated low tide levels, weekend working will take place next month.

Footway closures are also required whilst works are taking place adjacent to public areas to ensure the safety of both the public and the workers on site.

To help complete remaining sections of the works the footway may be closed for 2-days a week if conditions allow.

Footway closures will take place between 9am and 4pm each weekday as detailed below. The footway will remain open during the weekend working dates. Temporary signs will be in place for the footway closures.

North East Lincolnshire Council, its delivery partner, Equans, and contractor, Spencer Group, would like to thank the public for their patience whilst the work is being undertaken.

As Corporation Road Bridge is a construction site, it is important that the public respect the access restrictions in place, which have been introduced for safety reasons. Members of the public are reminded to please stay outside of all encapsulated and other working areas for their own safety, as well as that of those working there.
