Update: Dunham Bridge now fully open

Dunham Bridge

The route over the Trent is back in action after last Thursday's partial reopening.

Dunham Bridge is now fully open to traffic.

The news comes a day after LCC crews managed to get a section of the A57 route passable.  

Yesterday evening was the first time in six days that traffic was allowed across the bridge, albeit in reduced numbers and using a single lane only, because of dropping river levels combined with LCC crews’ temporary barrier building and floodwater pumping. 

Today, a full week since the bridge had to be closed because of the Storm Henk floodwaters, the restrictions have been lifted. The diversion that had been put in place to keep traffic moving whilst avoiding the crossover, has also been removed.  

Traffic volumes across the bridge are now back to normal. There will be no toll on the bridge until 10pm tonight (Friday 12 January).
