Station Street Shut Until Thursday as Cranes Scramble to Rescue Loose Lift Platform
Station Street will stay closed until Thursday morning, June 28, as specialist cranes are brought in to recover a dangerous platform lift dangling from a new tower under construction. Local diversions will remain in place amid safety concerns.
Dangling Lift Platform Sparks Road Closure
A lifting platform fixed to the side of a tower still being built has partially come loose, prompting a fire crew callout over fears it might crash down. To keep the public safe, council contractors Colas shut Station Street at its junction with Commercial Road.
Traffic Rerouted via Isambard Brunel Road
Road users are being redirected through Isambard Brunel Road as authorities work to secure the loose platform and reopen Station Street. Drivers are urged to follow local signage and expect delays.
