Swing bridge to close for maintenance work

Wednesday, May 13th, 2015 12:00am

Ramsey residents are being reassured that work on the swing bridge will not impact the TT fortnight.

Last year a major maintenance programme saw the bridge closed to traffic during the busy period, leading to gridlock on Ramsey Sprint Day.

The Department of Infrastructure has now confirmed more work is set to take place tomorrow and Friday.

Tim Cowin looks after highway and asset management - he says there's no potential for this work to run beyond its completion date:
