Wentbridge Viaduct and Wentedge Road Bridge Repair and Reopening

near completion

The project involved major repair works on the Grade II-listed Wentbridge Viaduct and the nearby Wentedge Road bridge in West Yorkshire, UK. Repairs included waterproofing, resurfacing, replacing central support, and improving embankments. The works started in February 2023 and aimed to extend the life of the bridges and reduce future reactive repairs and unplanned closures. Traffic management with narrowed lanes and a 50mph speed limit was in place during the works. The project is nearing completion with the removal of traffic restrictions and return to 70mph speed limit scheduled.
