Work should have finished next week, but will now run into May.
The road was scheduled to reopen on April 11 once repairs were completed but gas company Cadent has now said repairs are set to last until May 2.
A series of lane closures are being scheduled on the Thomas Telford-inspired bridge as contractors conduct engineering works to push through a new pipe along the length of the bridge. Between April 18 and April 25, there will be a lane closure on the bridge along with two-way signals. Cadent said the new pipe will be made of a tough plastic which will last for many years, reducing the need for further repair works.
