As suggested last week, certain restrictions have now been placed on traffic passing over Wootton Bridge. This is following the discovery of cracks in the bridge.
Councillor's letter talks of serious structural weaknesses; weight and speed limit likely and a four week to four month closure being possible depending on the level of repair undertaken.
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.
