Locals react to news Shoreham footbridge to close for three weeks

Shoreham’s 10 million pound footbridge is to be shut for a large part of June for maintenance work.

The crossing which links the town and the beach opened in November 2013.

But West Sussex County Council has now confirmed it will be closed from Monday June 1 to Monday, June 22.

This is so the contractor can carry out an essential inspection and maintenance underneath the bridge.

The closure will take place between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

And a shuttle bus will run between both sides of the crossing for those who cannot get out and about.
