Witton Park s new bridge opens to the public

Motorists can now travel over Witton Park Bridge near Bishop Auckland after it re-opened today. The £2.5million scheme saw the demolition and replacement of the crossing designed to ensure public safety and long-lasting accessibility for local residents. The bridge was originally closed temporarily in 2018 following an inspection when the crossing was found to be suffering from structural issues. Work to replace the bridge began on Monday 15 June and the existing structure was demolished in early August. Following the demolition, repair works were completed to the bridge support in September. Although complicated by the rail bridge which passes directly above the original structure, the new bridge was then successfully installed.
