Summary
Britain’s “most bashed” bridge in Leicestershire is stuck in limbo—26 truck collisions since last March, and no end in sight. A planned 51cm road lowering to clear tall vehicles, backed by developer Mountpark, is delayed as Network Rail hasn’t approved the design. Local officials call the fix a “myth,” while Mountpark pushes ahead with other $10M upgrades. Network Rail says they’re committed but cite internal changes as a possible reason for the stall—leaving drivers, officials, and safety advocates frustrated and waiting.
