Reader Michael Lamb sent us this photo of the new footbridge being lowered into position at 6pm on Sunday.
Kellet Road next to the footbridge was closed from midnight on Saturday to midnight on Sunday to allow the old steel bridge to be lifted out and replaced with a new aluminium one.

The replacement was needed as surveys had shown that the existing steel bridge was deteriorating, with the aluminium one expected to need less maintenance, minimising the potential for future costs and disruption.
