We are pleased to confirm, following recent media reports, that there is no "Whirlpool" on Powick Old Bridge. Our latest inspections have also shown no further degradation to the existing hole, despite recent flooding.
The hole remains bounded on two sides by water mains that cross over the bridge. We have raised our concerns with Severn Trent about the potential risk of further collapse, but we are happy to report that, to date, no additional issues have occurred.
As we move forward, we are ready to begin the next critical phase of the project: a Ground Investigation. This step will take place before the installation of a temporary support frame, scheduled for November.
For more details about the renovation, please visit the Powick Old Bridge page of the County Council website.
