Sappers Bridge Update June 2023

Sappers Bridge Update June 2023

Sappers Bridge is currently closed on safety grounds with the timber deck, deck supports, main suspension cables and towers all needing to be replaced.  Essentially the entire bridge has to be dismantled and rebuilt. 

Conwy County Borough Council has started design work on this project, including the option of widening the deck and upgrading to modern standards.  Funding has been secured from the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund. 

We expect to have concept drawings available in July and will then hold an information event in the village. 

We have investigated whether there is any way to get the bridge open on a temporary basis but unfortunately this is not possible due to the main cables having been condemned.
