The surprise cost? Eighty percent of the structure needs replacing, revealing hidden decay beneath the surface. While tearing it down and rebuilding would’ve cost £20–30 million, saving it is still a smart move. Closed since October last year, this historic bridge—damaged in WWII, once a swing bridge, and last swung in 1935—will reopen early next year. It’s part of a £16 million government-backed project restoring seven other bridges, proving that old infrastructure holds surprises—and sometimes, saving it is the smarter, cheaper choice.
