Selby Swing Bridge a new competitor

Published: Monday, 07 March 2022

FAILING twice in a week, is Selby Swing Bridge joining the others as the one breaking down the most?

It was just a week ago on the 28th February that the swing bridge failed with an operational issue and it has now failed again Keith Gudgin reports.

And it is another operational issue that has caused its second closure in a week, but it is not known if the same issue, another or if the contractors did not repair it properly the first time.

This was the swing bridge that keeps up its trend of failing every year, with it failing in June of last year and in 2020 our reporting that it had failed six times in six years. So now it has failed not eight times in eight years as we last reported but nine!

Look out Coxhead and Winkwell, you have a competitor!
