The Canal and River Trust bridge on Kiddemore Green Road/High Green has been damaged and is now closed to traffic to ensure people’s safety. Updates will provided in due course.
Anyone travelling to the Brewood Christmas lights switch-on tomorrow (30 November) is being urged to allow extra journey time and plan a different route if necessary.
Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet support member for highways Patrick Allen said:
This emergency bridge closure is on a main route into the village from the west of Brewood and so we’d ask people to allow extra journey time and plan in advance of travel.
This will be a really busy weekend for Brewood so we want people to have as much notice as possible before tomorrow’s event. While this isn’t a county council bridge, we’ll be working with the Canal and River Trust as it plans its repairs, and keep people updated accordingly.”
