The work by Worcestershire County Council is to allow 'the correction of painting defects to Crookbarrow Way Footbridge'.

 

 

However, emergency access will be maintained. The footbridge can still be used by pedestrians and cyclists, escorted by safety marshals. 

However, the shared foot and cycleway on the A4440 cannot be used by pedestrians or cyclists.
