Work to resurface Whitby swing bridge and widen the footpath is due to begin in October.
The historic swing bridge in Whitby will be improved to make it safer during busy periodsNorth Yorkshire Council said the road surface would be replaced and pedestrian footpaths widened as part of upgrades to the 1908 structure.
Work will start on 2 October with the 75ft bridge closed for two weeks and a shuttle bus service operating to transport people from one side of the town to the other.Keane Duncan, the council's executive member for highways and transport, said: "We're carrying out essential maintenance and improvement works to the bridge's mechanics, ensuring it remains in good working order.
"We are also widening the footpaths to improve public safety during weekends and summer holidays when the bridge can get very crowded. "These upcoming works will not only future-proof the bridge, but enhance the experience of glorious Whitby for both visitors and locals." The council said the work had been scheduled to take pace outside of the busy tourist season, but urged people to familiarise themselves with the diversion and plan their journeys in advance.Follow BBC Yorkshire on

Association between troponin level and medium-term mortality in 20 000 hospital patientsIntroduction Cardiac troponin (cTn) concentrations above the manufacturer recommended upper limit of normal (ULN) are frequently seen in hospital patients without a clinical presentation consistent with type 1 myocardial infarction, and the significance of this is uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between medium-term mortality and cTn concentration in a large consecutive hospital population, regardless of whether there was a clinical indication for performing the test. Method This prospective observational study included 20 000 consecutive in-hospital and outpatient patients who had a blood test for any reason at a large teaching hospital, and in whom a hs-cTnI assay was measured, regardless of the original clinical indication. Mortality was obtained via NHS Digital. Results A total of 20 000 patients were included in the analysis and 18 282 of these (91.4%) did not have a clinical indication for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) testing. Overall, 2825 (14.1%) patients died at a median of 809 days. The mortality was significantly higher if the cTnI concentration was above the ULN (45.3% vs 12.3% p|0.001 log rank). Multivariable Cox analysis demonstrated that the log10 cTnI concentration was independently associated with mortality (HR 1.76 (95% CI 1.65 to 1.88)). Landmark analysis, excluding deaths within 30 days, showed the relationship between cTnI concentration and mortality persisted. Conclusion In a large, unselected hospital population, in 91.4% of whom there was no clinical indication for testing, cTnI concentration was independently associated with medium-term cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality in the statistical model tested. No data are available. The nature of the data sharing agreement with NHS Digital prevents sharing of these data.
