Replaced Bridge
This rickety footbridge, over the Lincoln to Newark railway line, having been declared unsafe and closed for quite some time, is in the process of being replaced by Network Rail. The Council, who run Whisby Nature Reserve in which the bridge stands, could not afford to refurbish it. At the same time Network Rail are building a bridge for vehicular traffic to replace an unmanned level crossing at the same location. The cost will be a million pounds and approximately one year of disruption to wild life and visitors alike.
