Footbridge to close for further investigations
BBCA footbridge across the River Hull will undergo another phase of investigation work ahead of a repair programme, the city council has said.
An inspection in 2024 revealed Scale Lane Bridge's swing mechanism needed repairing.
The footbridge underwent one stage of investigations in February 2025 - however a second phase is required before the repair programme can begin, according to Hull City Council.
The work is due to begin on Monday 19 January and last for three weeks.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, portfolio holder for transport and infrastructure, said: "Scale Lane footbridge is a unique, and complex structure, with a complex engineering process.
"That's why this second phase of investigations are essential, to ensure the repair programme is robust and delivers a long-term solution."
The council said there would be times when the footbridge would be closed to pedestrians and cyclists, and there would be a diversion over Millennium footbridge.
The authority said it would be working with local businesses to minimise the impact of the closures.
