THE footbridge across Princes Street in the centre of Swindon will be closed for four weeks from Monday while a £99,500 refurbishment takes place.

People will have to cross the road at the pedestrian crossing at Regent Circus.

There will also be some brief lane closures on Princes Street below the bridge.

The work will include replacement of the bridge deck waterproofing, re-surfacing, and parapet rails.

Workmen will be on the bridge from 7.30am to 6pm during the week and from 8.30am to 1pm on Saturdays.

Contractor Churchman, Fenner and Brown will carry out the project.
