COUNCIL APPROVES LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR HULL'S BRIDGES

- By ANDREW SPENCE

HULL City Council's cabinet has approved proposals for a five-year programme to repair and maintain Hull's network of bridges and some other structures.

A report that was submitted to the council for approval sets out plans for the upkeep of 15 structures across the city, most of which are bridges. The report, for example, states that 'strengthening schemes' are required for a number of structures including Sutton Road Bridge, North Bridge, and Hessle Road flyover.
