Highways England has reversed its decision to infill an historic bridge in south west Scotland, following pressure from local residents, councillors and members of a railway campaign group.
In April last year, a Highways England consultant told the local authority of its intention to infill a disused bridge at Lochanhead, which spans the former Dumfries-Stranraer line.
Acting for Highways England, Jacobs told planners that “the arch barrel has open joints throughout” and infilling is needed to “remove the associated risk of structural collapse and harm to the public”.
Engineering works normally need planning consent, but a council officer mistakenly told Jacobs that the work “would be classed as a repair and do not require planning permission”.
