Improvement works to the Newport City footbridge will begin today (Friday 28 April).
The works will see new deck boards laid across the length of the bridge. These boards are designed to reduce the noise levels made by people crossing the bridge, particularly those on bikes and scooters.
Some of the new deck boards were installed at one end of the bridge in March as a trial, the results of which showed that they were effective in reducing noise levels
Work will start tomorrow and is scheduled to be completed within six weeks.
While there will be some disruption, the bridge will remain open for public use throughout the works. Work may be suspended during the six-week period to fully reopen the bridge around major events taking place in the city centre.
