B1811 Stone Bypass River Bridge
Following a comprehensive inspection, the deck waterproofing system of B1811 Stone Bypass River Bridge has failed. Staffordshire County Council Highways team is undertaking essential work to both replace the deck waterproofing system and strengthen the weak service bays. The works will widen the existing narrow footpaths for combined pedestrian cyclist use and improve bridge water management to prolong the bridge service life.
The works are deemed essential to ensure the bridge meets minimum national highway standards, and to ensure future public safety.
A51 Stone Bypass River Road will have one lane closed to vehicles under temporary traffic lights, (estimated 26-week duration). Pedestrian access will be maintained where possible for the duration of the works.
