Concrete repairs ongoing and agreed that abnormal loads would be excluded and during the works the capacity would be 40T ALL only. However, this has been uprated to 80,000kg or 20 units HB. At the end of the repair work (Dec 2023 planned) it is anticipated restrictions will be lifted and usual abnormal load procedures will apply.

Bridge over River Thames

NH 3

The load capacity of 44,000kgs is currently appropriate. This was imposed in order to safeguard the structure (following uncertainty in the condition of the structure post-tensioning systems). The structure is on the heavy load grid. Investigations and a structural assessment are underway and depending on the results, there are plans to undertake work on the bridge (but unlikely before 2025).

Bridge over River Dove

Uttoxeter

DBFO 28
|
44,000kg limit confirmed (not on Heavy Load Route). The structure carries the eastbound carriageway of the A50 (Doveridge Bypass) over the River Dove, to the East of Uttoxeter. No opportunity to strengthen structure. DBFO Co are currently designing crossover points either side of the structure to enable heavy loads to traverse on the adjacent carriageway. Both carriageways will need to be closed to enable this manoeuvre.

The restrictions are over 70t straddle lanes 1&2; over 90t no associated live load, full restriction over 140 Tonnes. The structures are on a Heavy Load Route. There is quite an easy diversion route via the Bristol Ring Road between junctions 18 and 19, (A46, A420, A4174), and this is used quite a lot. No upgrading work planned.
