POOLE’s Twin Sails Bridge will be closed to traffic and pedestrians overnight from 8pm on Wednesday to allow maintenance staff to carry out tests and adjustments.
Council strategic director Jim Bright said: "Since opening the bridge to road traffic we have experienced a number of minor issues which we are keen to understand and resolve as soon as possible. By closing the bridge overnight we hope to minimise disruption to the public and work with our contractors to find a successful solution.”
Operators will be able to lift the bridge for boats needing to navigate the Backwater Channel.
