RAILWAY BRIDGE - RAISED KERBS

Residents may have noticed officers from CE Highways carrying out an inspection of the railway bridge on London Road/Wilmslow Road earlier today. This is in preparation for raising of the kerbs and footpaths on the westerly side of the bridge and follows an assessment by Network Rail into the likelihood of a vehicle ending up on the railway line in the event of a collision. Unfortunately, it will be necessary for the bridge to be closed for a period of one week whilst the work is undertaken; however, the good news is that CE Highways intend to resurface Wilmslow Road at the same time. I will give a further update when I have more information regarding the timescale for the project.
