Gravel Head Bridge, Downham Common will be closed (again!) for works on Wednesday and Thursday this week (26 and 27 May) for further works.

The closure will be in effect from 7:00AM to 7:00PM with a diversion for vehicles. The road will remain open outside these hours, and pedestrians and cyclists should still be able to access the site.

Highways officers explain that the surfacing has dropped due to a void under the carriageway, which they say is likely to be the result of settling ground combined with the high level of saturation when the original works were carried out.
