Cumberland Council would like to inform the public of upcoming essential maintenance on the much-loved suspension footbridge connecting Portinscale and Keswick.
This essential project involves replacing deteriorated structural elements which will help to preserve the bridge’s safety, reliability, and long-term integrity.
The maintenance work is scheduled to take place on Monday 30 June 2025 between 7.00am and 3.00pm and is expected to be completed within the day. To ensure the safety of the public and our workforce, the footbridge will be temporarily closed to pedestrians and cyclists during these hours.
While this initial closure is planned for just one day, please be aware that further maintenance may be required at future dates as part of our commitment to maintaining high standards for local infrastructure.
Cumberland Council would like to thank the community and visitors for their cooperation and patience during these works.
