Save our bridge update
Eight months later still waiting for amended bridge drawings
THE BRIDGE IS WIDE ENOUGH. NO HGVS! We are still waiting for Essex Highways’ amended drawings of their proposed widened bridge. Two important reports, Boxted Bridge Heritage Assessment by Place Services and an independent assessment report on the bridge by Cleveland Bridge UK, both commissioned by Essex County Council are being ignored by Highways.
