London Road Bridge Closure: 5-Month Detour

0:00It's April 23rd. You're listening to Lester News today, AI-powered local news. A major stretch of London road in Great Glen, Lester Shire, is shutting down for five months starting Monday, May 4th, right through to October 5th. That's a 154 meter chunk of road and pavement, closing for big time bridge improvements by the county council. This concrete saddle scheme is all about strengthening the bridge over the old A6, casting reinforced concrete over the arches to handle more. Wait and prevent future issues. Local councillor Peter Scott jumped on Facebook to sound the alarm, warning folks about the full closure and the extra traffic it'll dump on Maine, street and church road, messing with daily commutes. Drivers get a detour that's just 1.25 kilometers long, looping left onto Maine street for 422 meters, sharp left 2. Church road for 4 to 76 meters, then back on London road, should add only about 2 minutes to your trip.
