The footbridge in Keynsham Park has been closed amid concerns for its safety but is impassable anyway
A footbridge over the River Chew in Keynsham Memorial Park has been closed after concerns were raised about the high water levels.
A Bath & North East Somerset Council spokesman said today: “Following a recent structural inspection by B&NES engineers, the pedestrian footbridge at the end of Keynsham Memorial Park has been temporarily closed as a precautionary measure due to erosion of the riverbank and the high water levels in the River Chew.
“Once the water levels have receded further, detailed inspections can take place to establish if the erosion has affected the structure and identify any works required.
The public are thanked for their patience and are advised to make use of other adjacent bridges within the park.”
