Steel bridge to get replaced by Aluminium: Carnforth canal bridge, Lancashire

The Carnforth footbridge near Lancaster in the north of Lancashire County, England, will be confiscated and replaced with a footbridge adjoining to Kellet road in Carnforth this Sunday 23rd February’20.

The Lancashire Council said: “the replacement is needed as 'surveys have shown that the existing steel bridge is deteriorating, with the aluminium one expected to need less maintenance, minimising the potential for future costs and disruption”.

The footbridge next to Kellet road will remain closed from Saturday 22nd February midnight to 23rd February midnight to empower the old deteriorated steel bridge to be uplifted and restore with a brand new aluminium one.

The footbridge has been kept on delivering support to pedestrians as the road bridge fetching Kellet road over the canal is too narrow for a footway.

Lancashire County Councillor Keith Iddon, the cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "The replacement of the Carnforth Canal Footbridge is part of our wider annual programme of investment and maintenance of bridges and structures. We've scheduled this work for a Sunday to minimise disruption as far as possible, and I'm grateful for people's patience while we carry out this essential work."

In case for any reason the work can't be completed on Sunday 23rd February'20, a contingency plan allows for a further closure of Kellet Road on Sunday1st March'20.
