North of Dimmingsdale Bridge

25 November 2025 · 1 days since the previous

Contractors continue to experience difficulty securing access from the offside landowner, which is required to bring the necessary equipment to the location and safely remove the fallen tree. We are unable to utilise the land without the appropriate authorisation, which is causing delays to the works. We apologise for any inconvenience caused while we work to resolve the access issue as quickly as possible. Further updates will be provided as soon as new information becomes available.

We have received an update from our contractors regarding the fallen tree north of Dimmingsdale Bridge. Unfortunately, removal will not be possible until early next week. The tree has been assessed as being approximately 1 m in diameter and will require additional planning, specialist expertise, and potentially heavy-lifting equipment, subject to suitable access arrangements. A separate team is attending site today to carry out a full assessment and develop a safe and effective removal plan. In the meantime, Contractors have been diverted to clear another fallen tree nearby at Mops Farm Bridge, following further disruption caused by Storm Claudia. We apologise for the continued disruption and thank you for your understanding while we work to resolve this safely.
