PLANS for major refurbishment to Selby swing bridge will be on display in the town next month.

The £14 million investment will be the biggest investment in the bridge since it was built in 1889, and will start on Friday, July 26, running until September.

The bridge will have steelwork repaired, sections of the bridge replaced and strengthened, a new coat of paint, repairs to the hydraulic system and track, and new walkways and steps for bridge operators.

Updates on rail service changes are expected soon, with buses replacing several rail services throughout the repairs.

The drop-in event will be on the ground floor of the site offices on Ousegate, Selby, from 10am to 7pm on Thursday, July 3, with members of the Network Rail team and staff from train operating companies on-hand to answer questions and discuss the road closures and changes to train services needed to complete the work.
