GRIMSBY'S Corporation Bridge has been raised this morning.
It is closed until 3.30pm today and again tomorrow between 9.30am and 3.30pm for newly-refurbished lamp posts to be installed by North East Lincolnshire Council's development services regeneration partnership.
Routine maintenance to the lifting mechanism is being carried out at the same time.
The section of Corporation Road affected by the road closure is between the mini-roundabout at Alexandra Retail Park and the junction with Victoria Street.
Councillor Peter Wheatley, portfolio holder for Regeneration and Environment at NELC, said: "This is one of Grimsby's best known landmarks and the restoration of the posts has been sensitive to the bridge's historical importance. They've been handsomely refurbished to the original design and will be in keeping with the engineered look of the bridge."
