Works on St Margaret Street Bridge in Bradford on Avon are due to take eight months.
A Wiltshire bridge which "cannot be economically repaired" is set to be replaced over the next eight months.
During that period the road will be closed and a footpath next to the bridge will also be partially closed."The bridge is life-expired and in a very poor condition which cannot be economically repaired," it"This will prevent the bridge from being involuntary weight restricted or closed, it will also provide a major maintenance-free period for at least 25 years."
During this time, buses towards Trowbridge will continue to pick up at the Town Bridge and then at a temporary bus stop on Junction Road before heading towards Trowbridge.The closure order says: "It is anticipated that the works will take the stated duration to complete depending upon weather conditions.
Sarah Gibson, a Wiltshire councillor for Bradford on Avon South, said there were plans to replace the bridge before the pandemic but lockdown had delayed them.Some residents have expressed concerns about the length of time the work will take and at being unable to park near their homes.
