Hinckley's 'Bashed Bridge' & Logistics Park: Road Improvements Delayed

Britains Most Bashed Bridge Faces New Challenges: A Logistics Park Nearby and Unfinished Road ImprovementsA major logistics park is set to open near the infamous Britains most bashed bridge, causing concerns that essential road improvements wont be finished in time. The bridge, located at Watling Street, has a history of collisions with large trucks, and the new parks development could exacerbate the issue. The developer, Mountpark, agreed to lower the road under the bridge as part of the planning approval, but the timeline has been pushed back to the end of this year due to complex drainage issues. Local councillor Ann Pendlebury has expressed real concerns that the work wont be done before the park opens, as traffic diverts through residential areas when the bridge is hit, causing congestion and pressure on small local roads. Councillors have voted to back a motion calling for the promise of road improvements to be kept, with work scheduled to begin next year. DNN | The Daily News Now!
