Repairs to 'pinch-point' bridge on A65 now due in June

North Yorkshire Council's Mid-Craven member, Cllr Simon Myers, told the parish council meeting this week that the repairs to the bridge would mean the bridge having to be temporarily closed. He said he did not have an exact date but would update the parish council when he did. Last time the repairs were due to take place, North Yorkshire Highways said work would take place early on a Sunday morning with a full road closure, followed by two days with traffic lights in place to allow the wall to 'set'.

The narrow bridge was damaged in 2023 when two vehicles collided on the bridge and hit both parapets..
