Update on Waterlink Way Bridge

During the works, a damaged Thames Water pipe was discovered. While this was not caused by the bridge project, it must be repaired before work can continue safely. Thames Water has now approved the required solution, but the specialist parts needed are expected to take up to three weeks to arrive.

As a result, the project programme has been delayed, and we are now aiming to restart works before the end of September and reopen the new bridge in November.

We appreciate everyone's patience and understand the inconvenience this causes. We will provide regular updates as work restarts shortly through until its completion and the opening of the new bridge.
