 £1m improvement project for Beverley bridge to begin
The council is to invest £1m in an important scheme to upgrade a 70-year-old bridge, which carries traffic over the River Hull, between Beverley and the village of Weel.
The vital work is scheduled to start on Monday, 13 April and will see the entire aluminium structure being removed for a major overhaul.
Unavoidably, the removal will mean the closure of the route over the bridge for around 12 weeks, until the bridge is due to be lifted back in place in July.
The household waste recycling site at Weel, which the bridge was used to access from the Beverley direction, will also be closed for the 12-week period. During this time, you can use the nearby household waste recycling sites at Hornsea, Driffield and Humberfield at North Ferriby instead.
