Update on 20/04/2021:

Following the recent closure of Selby swing bridge, a further incident took place last Tuesday 13^th April 2021 when a HGV hit the bridge whilst trying to cross it, despite the bridge being signed with a 3 tonne weight limit.

During a site inspection on Wednesday 14^th April 2021 with CRT engineers the bridge failed to operate. CRT are working with partners and the local highways team to make it safe and plan a way forward. At this time CRT are looking at various options to get the canal open as soon as possible, however we are unable to give a date for this.

We will publish a further update on Friday 30^th April 2021. The bridge will remain unavailable for operation in the meantime.

We apologise for the disruption this continues to cause.

Original message:

The Swing Bridge is out of balance and is unable to swing.

Contractors will be attending the site.

We will update the notice when further information is received.
