Raymond Brown Construction is to begin a £1m refurbishment project on a bridge in Bath and North East Somerset later this month.

The work to refurbish the Midland Bridge involves removing the existing paint coating to all steelwork, undertaking any necessary repairs and re-painting to restore the structure to its former glory.


Works will commence in late February and are expected to be completed later this summer.

Councillor Caroline Roberts (Lib-Dem, Newbridge), Cabinet Member for Transport, said: "This ambitious project is part of an on-going commitment by the Council to improve key historic highway infrastructure assets and will ensure the longevity of important links into the city well into the future."
