Windle Hill Bridge to be removed this week

Cheshire West and Chester Council recently temporarily closed Windle Hill Bridge, Cuckoo Lane, Neston, due to safety concerns after a recent inspection had taken place, further inspections have now shown the bridge is beyond practical repair.

The bridge has been closed with a minor diversion around it to allow users to access the full length of the Wirral way. To allow access under the bridge to the nearby fields, the bridge will be taken down over the next two weeks, to allow safe passage underneath for users needing to access their land.

The Council is committed to a new bridge being installed, unfortunately timescales for this are not known at this stage, as it will need to be designed and procured. 

The alternative access will remain in place for users of the Wirral way until the new bridge is installed, if using this alternative access please be vigilant when crossing and be aware of farm vehicles.
