All Islanders are aware how heavily this route is used, but the recently-detected damage to the bridge must be repaired. The impact of any closure could be considerable.
Wootton Bridge is on the North side of the Isle of Wight, to the West of Ryde.
As well as being an area, it is also a thing – an actual bridge that sits over connection between Wootton Creek and The Old Mill Pond.
It’s quite close to Fishbourne, the ferry port for the Ryde to Portsmouth Wightlink ferry route.
