PIANO Bridge to reopen Friday May 11th
PIANO Bridge in Lower Trostre Road, Llanelli, is planned to reopen Friday, May 11th.
There has been widespread disruption for commuters, commercial deliveries and visitors since the necessary bridge replacement works started in January
The double bridge spans the main London to Fishguard rail line and a bank of disused sidings.
It was not possible to carry out the work piecemeal leaving one lane open because the whole of the two bridge spans, one over the main line and the other over the sidings, has had to be replaced
The demolition and reconstruction of the railway and sidings bridge has taken place and the restorations of services and finishing works are in their final stages.
Weather proofing of the construction has to be completed and this has to be undertaken in good weather conditions which means the finishing is entirely dependent on weather conditions.
