This week, we will be completing the removal of the old and redundant metal maintenance gantries (pictured) that are no longer working or needed. This doesn’t mean we won’t be carrying out maintenance anymore, it just means with advances in working practices and technology, we can do it differently.
The two gantries over the main span will be lowered down onto a barge in the Humber Estuary over the next two days and then disposed of in a sustainable manner.
There will be no disruption to traffic or pedestrians and cyclists during this operation.
Stay tuned for updates and behind-the-scenes photos!
