Staveley's Cllr Stan Collins lays the final bit of asphalt on Gowan Bridge ahead of Thursday's official opening
STAVELEY councillor Stan Collins laid the final small amount of asphalt on the village's Gowan Bridge ahead of Thursday's official opening.
Weather permitting the white lines will be going down tomorrow as the community gears up to celebrating the re-opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a '500 ways to cross the bridge' event,
The bridge was damaged beyond repair during Storm Desmond and Cumbria County Council has invested £500,000 in a project to replace it. The new structure has been designed to increase resilience by adopting a robust, mainly concrete construction and by increasing the volume of water that can flow beneath it.
