Following refurbishment work, Ross Bridge was lifted back into place at the end of April. Since then, CORMAC has been working to resurface the structure and prepare it for reopening.
CORMAC provided this update on Friday 15 May:
“We’re pleased to share that Ross Bridge is expected to reopen a few days earlier than scheduled. The project team have been working hard to achieve this, and pedestrian access will now open by the end of today, Friday 15th May for the weekend. It will close again on Monday for final inspections, then fully reopen, including vehicle access on Tuesday 19thMay.
“We know this has been a challenging journey for everyone, and we’re very grateful for the patience and support shown by the community while this work has been carried out. These vital repairs to Ross Bridge, secure its future for years to come, restoring it as an important part of Penzance’s heritage and infrastructure. Thank you to everyone for your understanding as we worked to bring this vital structure back into use.”
