CANAL & RIVER TRUST is carrying out vital works on the Grade II-Listed wrought iron Town Swing Bridge.
It will be later this month.
The bridge carries the A533 over the Weaver Navigation in Northwich town centre.
Cheshire West and Chester Council and the trust carry out regular routine inspections of the bridge, which identified that the timber threshold plate needed replacing.
Replace oak timber
Specialist contractors working on the trust's behalf will replace the oak timber threshold plate, which will require the bridge to be swung open to enable the works to be carried out, with road traffic diverted.
It is unlikely that river traffic will be affected by the work on the bridge it being mostly done whilst it is open.
