BREAKING: Emergency closure of suspension bridge at Grosmont, near Whitby, announced by council
Grosmont suspension bridge has had to be closed to the public
North Yorkshire Council took “the difficult decision” to introduce an emergency closure of the bridge following a recent inspection.
Specialist contractors found structural issues on the underside of the bridge that had rapidly deteriorated since its last inspection and are now affecting the support it provides.
A council spokesperson said: “We appreciate the impact this will have on the community, so we are urgently exploring options to install a temporary footbridge and will provide updates as soon as possible.”
