The shape has been closed for more than a year after an evaluation observed that it had reached the end of its ‘usable existence.’
Before it can be replaced, the water mains and electric cables attached to the bridge should be eliminated and diverted.
The water pipes will be rerouted under the river mattress, a process that will take 15 weeks.
In addition, UK Power Networks will spend eight weeks replacing the strength network. After that, a brand new bridge may be established.
Council officers were analyzing the steadiness of the principles, taking advantage of the EA’s normal assessment of the river.
Andrew Young, the council’s engineering manager, has already sourced a new bridge for technical offerings.
Last month’s Tonbridge Forum assembly changed to tell us that the replacement bridge might be open in time for the summer vacation.
But it’s far now. I hope the work will be completed in time for the start of the new college year.
