On Thurs 21st Jan there will be a short emergency closure of Binton Bridge, to allow the County Council and its maintenance contractor sufficient working space to remove river debris currently pinned against the upstream elevation.

It is envisaged that the closure will be for a short period (perhaps up to 2 hours between 9.30am – 3.30pm) to allow for the traffic management diversion via Bidford upon Avon to be signed, and then for the team to park the log grab plant on the side of the bridge at carriageway level, lifting debris directly into the trailer for removal off site.

This is in an attempt to minimise risk of flooding as the river level is expected to rise over the coming days.
