Historic Landmark Declared Unsafe and Shut

The beloved bridge has been left unsafe and fully closed off in both directions. Locals and drivers have been warned: do NOT attempt to cross under any circumstances.

Drivers Urged to Take Lengthy Detour

Authorities are advising all traffic to avoid the site and use the old Basingstoke Road via Spencer’s Wood as a safer alternative route to Swallowfield.
