Grantham railway bridge reopening after £2.7m project
Network Rail has improved two Grantham bridges
A major railway bridge in Grantham – Springfield Road – reopened on Friday afternoon following the completion of a £2.7 million project by Network Rail that took seven months to complete.
The project saw two railway bridges spanning Barrowby Road and Springfield Road strengthened to keep the railway running reliably and ensure people can pass safety underneath it. The bridges carry the busy East Coast Main Line.
The improvements to the railway bridge at Barrowby Road were completed in early December last year before work began on Springfield Road in January. Adverse weather conditions in February caused some delays to the work before Springfield Road fully reopened on Friday, April 16.
