TWO bridges in Standlake will be closed for three weeks next month for roadworks.

From Monday, September 16, the Gaunthouse Mill river bridges will be shut to traffic along the length of Standlake Road and Rack End.

The road is being resurfaced and the bridge deck waterproofed to protect the concrete and metalwork from the corrosive effects of rain water. 

Access will be maintained for the emergent services and to premises which can only be reached from the closed section of road.
