Lendal Bridge : Major Refurbishment

Purpose of Report: Lendal Bridge is a key link on the road network in the centre of York. At 150-years old, it has already comfortably exceeded the 125-year design life of modern structures, but the level of corrosion evident in parts of the structure and the extent to which water is leaking through the road and onto the metal structure from above is such that major maintenance is now essential to preserve the long-term future of the bridge.
