Northwich Town Bridge to close for overnight repairs

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 08:32 · Archive

Northwich's Town Bridge will close overnight on 13 and 14 November for Canal and River Trust repairs.

Northwich's Town Bridge will close overnight on Friday and Saturday, 13 and 14 November, for the Canal and River Trust to repair a damaged timber threshold on the structure. The closures will begin at 7pm and end at 5am the following day.

While Town Bridge is closed, the council will temporarily revoke one-way restrictions on the ring road, A5509, Chester Way and Castle Street. This will allow traffic from both directions to cross the river using Hayhurst Bridge instead.

Cheshire West and Chester councillor Martin Loftus said the repair was 'essential to maintain the safe movement of vehicles and pedestrians over Town Bridge'. He confirmed that 'extensive traffic management' will be in place, with advanced information signs erected on site, a signed diversion route in operation, and emergency services informed of the temporary traffic regulation order.
