Changes To Poole Bridge Lifting Schedule

 

Temporary changes to the lifting schedule for Poole Bridge will be in place

from Monday 28 November 2011.

 

On weekdays (Monday to Friday) the 2.30pm and 4.30pm bridge lifts will be

cancelled and replaced with a single bridge lift at 3.30pm. All other bridge

lifts will remain unchanged.

 

The revised schedule, to allow completion of work on the new Twin Sails

Bridge, will continue until early 2012 when a new timetable will be

introduced for the operation of a two bridge system.

 

Councillor Xena Dion, Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Transportation, Borough

of Poole, said: "The revised schedule will help the contractor during the

final stages of construction to complete the Twin Sails Bridge. Motorists

will be alerted via the variable message road signs in the area. We

apologise for any inconvenience that this temporary change may cause."
