The Town Bridge is over 200 years old. It is subjected every day to extremely large and heavy lorries travelling over it in both directions. The worst offenders are the HS2 lorries.
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6025997.
Very old and narrow bridge being subjected to levels of heavy traffic it is not able to cope with.
Updates
-
Not all bridges and structures in Buckinghamshire are the responsibility Highways, other bodies that own bridges and structures include:
- Network Rail: structures associated with the ‘live’railway
- National Highways: Motorways
- Canal and River Trust
- Rights of Way
We undertake annual inspections of structures on the Highway that we are responsible for, including special inspections if needed (e.g., collision damage), we also carry out regular maintenance, along with strengthening works to keep our bridges and structures safe and operational, with a minimum of disruption.
The structures team will carry out an assessment of the bridge and if is our responsibility we will arrange for a site inspection and raise an order to carry out any works required.
If the bridge is not the responsibility of Buckinghamshire Highways we will forward this report to the relevant organisation.
