Junction Lock bridge closures
In
order to test the new hydraulic installations at
Junction Lock Swing Bridge Bam Nuttall has agreed with Bristol City Council
Network Traffic Management the following road closures for:
1. Weekend of 30th and 31st January 2010.
2. Weekend of 6th and 7th February 2010.
It will also be necessary to close the bridge intermittently for up to
1hr
periods during the weeks starting 1st Feb and 8th Feb.
The replacement of lock gates and their mechanisms at Junction Lock continues. Two more new lock gates have now to be installed by the bridge. Works at Entrance Lock to replace the water hydraulic system with an oil based system will be ongoing until next May/June.
As a consequence of this work we shall see 5 small new buildings at Entrance
Lock, 4 to house the mechanisms for each of the lock gates and one to
hold an emergency generator. Hopefully, the design will be rather less
stark that the buildings at Junction Lock. These works will prevent access
to a way over the Lock Gates until they are completed.
