Essential repairs to Ferry Bridge start Monday
After more than 40 years, Ferry Bridge, a vital link between Portland and Weymouth requires essential repairs to ensure its long-term sustainability.
Traffic management from Monday, 19 January, to Sunday, 1 March:
• One lane closed with 24/7 two-way traffic lights
• Pedestrian and cyclist access maintained
• No abnormal heavy loads permitted
Most work will take place beneath the bridge and will not be visible. There may be short periods of additional traffic management after 1 March and two brief night closures in April.
We appreciate your patience during these works. Please plan ahead, allow extra time for journeys, and continue supporting local businesses throughout this period.
