The Crossing will be temporarily closed in order to replace the winch drums that are responsible for pulling the cables to raise each span of the bridge.

The works will take place across two weeks and have been scheduled for the evenings to minimise disruption to pedestrians and water vessels.  The works are all expected to be completed by the morning of Tuesday 22 August.

The works require a crane to be placed on the bridge to remove the winch drums. Therefore the bridge will be completely closed to pedestrians during the following times:
