Carlisle bridge closed over safety fears
A suspension bridge in Carlisle's Rickerby Park has been closed over safety concerns.
Highways officials have closed the Rickerby Park Memorial Bridge, across the River Eden, to carry out urgent repairs after a routine inspection identified by engineers identified structural problems.
The bridge is part of a key route between the Warwick Road area of the city and Stanwix and also popular with dog walkers.
Some of the steel parts in the structure have corroded, reducing the weight capacity of the bridge.
The council aims to complete the work over this summer and into autumn.
