Boxted

The bridge will reopen on a temporary basis to pedestrians and people on push bikes.

A senior Essex councillor says tests concluded that the bridge must remain closed to vehicles.

Councillors say they want to visit the site before voting for its demolition.

Campaigners say there is not enough evidence that Boxted Bridge cannot be repaired.

Traffic has been restricted on Severalls Lane bridge, in Colchester, since March 2020.

An Audi is pursued from the city into country lanes and a rutted field.

Plans for a bridge in Boxted to be demolished have been submitted. Action group say it is wasteful.
