Broken bridge on footpath/bridleway ‘Shouldham BR1’ and ‘Wormegay BR3’ – temporarily closed

Norfolk County Council carries out regular inspections of all Public Highways assets including footbridges. Following a recent inspection of the timber footbridge ‘TF61411’ on footpath/bridleway ‘Shouldham BR1’ and ‘Wormegay BR3’ we found parts of the bridge were rotten. This means that we need to temporarily close the bridge as it is currently unsafe to use.

Until the bridge can be repaired or replaced, the footpath/bridleway routes will be available for use only on a ‘to the bridge and back’ basis. Please see attached map showing the location of the bridge.

The County Council thanks people for their patience during this closure.
