Yarmouth Bridge will be closed for up to a day in November for inspection and maintenance work.

The work by Island Roads, is scheduled to take place on Monday November 10. Because a cherry picker will be used to inspect components at the top of the bridge, calm weather is required and so Tuesday November 11 and Wednesday November 12 have been set aside as alternative dates if it is too windy on the target date.

Island Roads will also use the closure to undertake other maintenance work on the structure.

The usual diversion will be in place via Wilmingham Lane and The Middle Road during the closure.

Yarmouth Harbour Commissioners have been informed and high-masted river traffic is advised to undertake any necessary travel that involves a bridge opening outside of work hours (9am-4pm) as any other movements will only be accommodated if possible.

Pedestrian access will be maintained during work.

Updates on the progress of work will be issued to the local media and via Island Roads’ X feed.
