The 'inconvenient' works will be carried out 'as quickly as possible'
A popular bridge in Nottingham will be closed off to the public for an "essential" inspection. The Wilford Suspension Bridge, located at the Victoria Embankment, will be closed on Tuesday, June 11, while Severn Trent carries out the maintenance works.
"To enable contractors working on behalf of Severn Trent Water to carry out an essential inspection of this bridge it is necessary to temporarily close it to public access. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation."One resident, Anita Simpson, who lives nearby, said she noticed contractors wearing high-vis jackets on the bridge recently. She said: "We go over the bridge quite a lot.
The man, who wished to keep his identity private, said: "It needs to be inspected every now and then to ensure it's safe so I'm not overly worried about it. It could do with a repaint though. Another resident, Gareth Barrow, 65, added that the bridge tends to sway in windy weather. He said: "I don't really cross it that often but I know it sways a bit when it's very windy.
