M2 Kirkham Bridge Project Intentions

The RTA has clarified the 3 tonne load limit restrictions on the Murray Farm Road bridge over the motorway and how this will affect buses like the 553 service. Although the span widening activity will commence late Feb 2011, only in one phase of that activity will this restriction need to be enforced, and this is currently projected to be from April 2012 until October 2012.

So at least for the next year, kids will be able to get to and from school by bus!

The RTA also state in their latest bulletin that, when one-lane operation is imposed on the bridge, traffic over the bridge will be controlled in alternating directions using signalised traffic control. This matches the opinion of local residents as shown in the recent Beecroft Cheltenham Civic Trust survey.
