As part of its project to repair the damaged bridge on the northern section (pictured), a full weekend closure is planned of a number of roads from Friday 4 October to 6am on Monday 7 October.

This will enable National Highways engineers to safely cut and remove the parapet on the edge of the bridge and drill anchors for a replacement beam. A crane will stand on Middleton Boulevard to facilitate this work.

The A52 eastbound from Priory roundabout to QMC, the northern section of the QMC roundabout and Middleton Boulevard all need to be closed for the safety of road users and the workforce.

National Highways has urged drivers to allow extra time for their journeys and to follow signed diversions.
