Bridge Fix: Lorry Crashes to End on A5 Watling Street

Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description

Britains most collision-prone railway bridge on the A5 Watling Street near Hinckley in Leicestershire is finally getting a fix. The bridge, hit by lorries 22 times between April and March 2024, will see the road underneath lowered starting this summer. Mountpark, a nearby logistics park developer, is funding the project, which is part of larger highway upgrades. The work will cause temporary disruptions, but officials promise long-term safety and flow improvements. The project is set to begin in summer 2025, with full completion expected in March 2027.
