Baddington Bridge Closed

A530 Baddington Lane – Emergency Road Closure

The A530 at Baddington Lane Railway Bridge is closed to all users with immediate effect following the latest inspection of the bridge.

A structural defect has been identified and, as a precaution, the road will remain closed while a detailed engineering inspection and assessment takes place.

At this stage, we do not know how long the closure will be in place. The bridge will remain closed while its condition is assessed and until it can be confirmed that it is safe to reopen.

Diversion route

A signed diversion route is in place and drivers should follow the signs.

Please do not use Coole Lane as an alternative route, as it is unsuitable for some vehicles.

We appreciate that the closure will cause disruption and thank you for your patience and understanding.

We’ll update this webpage as soon as we have more information following the engineering assessment.

Further information

• Coole Lane must not be used as a diversion route.

• Emergency services are aware of the diversion route.

• Local businesses remain open.
