Network Rail’s Bromham Road Bridge closure starts on Monday 24th June and will run until Spring 2020.

 

This is to allow them to safely demolish and raise the bridge as part of their Midland Main Line upgrade. A diversion via the A6 and Clapham Road will be clearly signposted.

 

Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the closure, with a temporary footbridge in place when required.

 

Bromham Road Bridge is a busy route in and out of Bedford and road users are encouraged to find alternative routes where possible and allow more time for journeys.

 

The Council has worked with Network Rail to minimise disruption, including delaying Transporting Bedford 2020 works on Clapham Road so that there aren’t road closures on this main thoroughfare at the same time.

 

Thanks to technology already installed through the Transporting Bedford 2020 project, the Council is able to monitor journey times on key routes and will keep a close eye on this, especially in the early days of Network Rail’s closure, and if necessary will look at options to help further alleviate traffic pressure.
