Britannia Bridge Closure Continues as Safety Investigations Ongoing

The Britannica Bridge, a crucial crossing in the UK, remains closed due to safety concerns. The closure, part of phase two works to remediate the bridge, is expected to continue until further investigations and a safe enforcement strategy are provided by UK Highways A55.

The bridge's closure stems from the need to replace bolts on beams under the structure. This issue has led to the implementation of emergency service vehicle arrangements for high winds, ensuring safety for all users.

Cabinet Secretary Ken Skates has apologized for the ongoing disruption caused by the closure. The responsible organization for the bridge's maintenance, typically a public or governmental body like Highways England, is yet to be specified in the available information.

The Britannica Bridge closure is a result of safety advice from engineers. The bridge will remain closed until investigations are complete and a safe enforcement strategy is provided by UK Highways A55.
