Itchen Bridge, Southampton.
THE ITCHEN Bridge in Southampton is to be shut tonight for “essential” maintenance.
It will be closed so expansion joints can be replaced from 8pm to 6am, for two nights.
Southampton City Council said: “To minimise disruption, some initial work on each joint will be carried out under temporary traffic signals which will enable us to maintain access from 8pm to 10pm. From 10pm to 6am the bridge will be closed to install the full width expansion joints.”
An overnight diversion route will be signposted via Peartree Avenue, Bitterne Road West and Northam Bridge. The timing is to avoid peak evening periods and football matches
