Restoration of Grimsby’s historic Corporation Road Bridge is set to resume following new decisions by North East Lincolnshire Council. The bridge will remain closed to allow the remaining repair works to be completed more efficiently and at a lower overall cost.
The Council confirmed that Taziker Industrial Limited has been appointed to complete the next phase of the project, with work scheduled to restart within days. The contractor has already begun preparatory work and is expected to complete the restoration by December 2026.
Earlier this year, a £12 million price cap was agreed for the scheme. While a temporary increase has been approved to secure Taziker’s appointment, the total cost is still expected to remain below the original budget.
The bridge, a Grade II listed structure, has been closed for extensive refurbishment aimed at preserving its historic features and restoring it to full working order. The decision to maintain the closure prioritises timely completion over a phased reopening, which would have extended the project’s duration and added to its cost.
The upcoming works mark the final stage in returning one of Grimsby’s most recognisable landmarks to service, ensuring its long-term safety and structural integrity.
