I am gob smacked at the timing of this closure by the Highways Agency. The bridge has been in place for 40 years, it is not in immediate danger of collapse, this could have been timed for later in the year without causing any problem to the development of airport city (which is why we are told the bridge replacement is necessary).
To carry out this work at this time on an airport link is diabolicle bad timing. However much advertising has been done it will cause chaos and it is completely unnecessary.
It is all well and good saying that traffic flow will be reduced over the weekend, not a working day. However this is an exit route from the North West to North Wales it is just as busy at the weekends ... The closure at this time is ludicrous and unnecessary.
Highways Agency 0/10 ......
