TO allow for the completion of Poole’s new bridge, there will be temporary changes to the lifting schedule for Poole Bridge from tomorrow.

The 2.30pm and 4.30pm bridge lifts on Saturdays and Sundays will be cancelled and replaced with a single bridge lift at 3.30pm.

This will continue until February when a new time- table will be implemented for the operation of a two-bridge system.

“We are pleased with the progress being made in the final stages of construction and the revised schedule will help the contractor as the Twin Sails Bridge nears completion,” said Cllr Xena Dion, cabinet portfolio holder for transportation.

“Motorists will be alerted via the variable message road signs in the area.”
