NOTIFICATION OF CLOSURE OF
DARTMEET BRIDGE
B3357

1st - 5th MARCH 2010

Dartmeet Bridge requires a loading assessment to clarify that the weight it supports meets with current standards legislation.

In order to complete the assessment, trail pits will need to be sunk into the carriageway to ascertain the construction of the bridge. Due to the narrow width of the bridge a road closure is required to enable the works to be carried out in a safe manner.

During the period of closure, there will be a signed diversion route in place via Holne and Hexworthy. However, access to properties shall be maintained at all times.
