WORK is being carried out on a main road to make it accessible for walkers and cyclists after a historic bridge collapsed.

Worcestershire Highways have cut trees back and carried out footway siding works at the A449 Malvern Road, Worcester between Hams Way and Old Road.

A lane closure and temporary traffic lights are in place until Friday (February 9).

The work is being carried out to increase the available space for pedestrians and cyclists while Powick Old Bridge remains closed.
