This letter was shared with residents nearby and it appears that works were scheduled from yesterday.
It doesn't explain how long the works is expected to take.
They might find it a bit of a challenge with the weather that is on its way this week and I hope the bridge isn't damaged in the expected floods.
It's great that the work is being done but in view of the amount of use that route gets it would perhaps have been helpful to share the news more widely.
