Longbridge is situated to the east of Marsh Mills

single span (30m) precast bridge beams, casting
of new deck slab followed by waterproofing,
erection of vehicular parapet and resurfacing.
Traffic safety and management will be of
paramount importance during the works. It is
envisaged that a two lane carriageway will be
maintained with temporary pedestrian diversion
via the existing footbridge to the north. Budget
Cost - circa £450,000.
Contractors will need to have experience of
partnering and collaborative working and be able
