The council tell us that the Floating Bridge will be out of service for approx five days from 18 March for its annual inspection by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency in Southampton.
They say that vehicles will be diverted via Newport during this period (watch out for the diversions due to one-way restrictions).
As usual, a foot-passenger launch will be available during the suspension (also for cyclists).
More to follow when we receive it.
