Pulteney Weir repairs - advance information

 

 IN May, Bath & North East Somerset commissioned a diving survey of Pulteney Weir and the foundations of Pulteney Bridge.

 

As a result of the survey, work to repair and make the weir safer will take place in mid July.

 

Equipment storage, workers changing and rest facilities will be moved into place in the vaults under Grand Parade as from Monday, July 7, but work on the weir is not expected to start until week commencing Monday, July 14.

 

As expected, no work is needed on the foundations of Pulteney Bridge.
