Lady Bay Bridge could stay closed or partially closed for weeks - if not possibly months, Highways officials have confirmed. The key route into Nottingham remains closed after a lorry crashed off the structure on Monday, July 4 morning.
The incident caused damage to the bridge which must be repaired before it can be fully reopened. A full assessment is still to be carried out.
Nottinghamshire County Council has now confirmed the bridge will remain completely closed for the rest of the week as safety assessments are made. Nottinghamshire County Councillor Neil Clarke, Transport & Environment Committee chairman and Bingham West representative for the Conservatives, said it's hoped they can reopen it one way next week but much planning is still to be done.
