Stapleton Bridge to reopen later on Thursday
The councillor says road markings will be done and that next week they will follow up with the contractor on outstanding work.
AFTER a delay, the Stapleton Bridge could be re-opened some time on Thursday, July 10, according to Ward councillor Melanie Brauteseth.
The bridge had been estimated to be re-opened by Wednesday but a delay, with re-tarring getting underway on Thursday, drove this back.
