Earlier this year, work took place on Wroxham Bridge to repair a brickwork wall which had been damaged and to carry out maintenance on a steel deck plate. One lane of the A1151 over the bridge was closed while these vital repairs were being carried out, and Hoveton Parish Council was advised at the time that a full road closure of the bridge may be necessary in the future in order for further works to be completed.

Norfolk County Council has recently advised that these further works – a larger scheme comprising of additional stabilisation/underpinning work to the retaining wall plus maintenance of the steel bridge structure – are expected to take place in early 2021 (not in early 2020, as previously expected). The work may be brought forward should any unforeseen deterioration in the steel bridge or wall be noted, but the County Council has advised that this is not anticipated, given the current condition of both elements.
