Assisted passage for Selby Swing Bridge

Published: Friday, 11 March 2022

THE Canal & River Trust has introduced a system of bookings for passage through Selby Swing Bridge.

SelbySwingIt tells that from next Monday, 14th March, assisted passages will be available between the hours of 9am to 3pm each day, but staff will not be on duty all this time, but available only by prior notice, Keith Gudgin reports.

Swung manually

With the mechanism that operated the bridge being removed the bridge can only be swung manually and two staff will have to be present to undertake this safely.

Owing to a limited number of staff available, 48 hours notice is required by phoning the Customer Service Team on 03030 404040, and then a time and date can be arranged.
