Earlier today our Project Coordinator Graham Bromley met a respresentative from AMCO Rail who had been commissioned by Network Rail to price works associated with our previously highlighted concerns regarding the poor and deteriorating condition of the Greengate Street bridge structure.
Among the issues previously highlighted included; loose and falling brickwork, vegetation growing in the bridge structure and water seeping through the bridge structure in various positions. It is understood that a minor works order has been issued by Network Rail in regard to the vegetation and loose and falling brickwork, this will be a 16 week remit, flagged as high priority.
Network Rail have passed the issue of water seepage back to Cumbria County Council in the hope that they could possibly help to resolve this particular issue under highways/road drainage.
It is understood that Cumbria County Council is currently planning to introduce a weight restriction for the bridge at the request of Network Rail. This is a temporary measure until the full details of the works required at the bridge are known, and the cost implications to both Network Rail and Cumbria County Council are identified.
It is hoped that by working together and in partnership with others this issue can be resolved to the benefit of all.
We would like to thank Network Rail and Cumbria County Council for working with us in helping to try and resolve these issues.
