Quick Fix to Broken Panels on Fort Street Bridge
On Tuesday I noticed that there was a missing and a broken protective panel on the Fort Street bridge. It looked as though the broken panel had been kicked in.
I was worried that the absence of these panels might make it possible for someone to climb up the parapet of the bridge. The gaps were also unsightly.
I am relieved to be notified on Thursday that an Engineer had inspected the bridge on Wednesday and has instructed Dundee Contract Services to temporarily board up the damage to the parapet. They will then do a permanent repair and paint the parapet early next year.
A job promptly well done despite the staff of the same department being busy organising winter maintenance on our roads.
