Work starts on repairing town bridge
WORKS are due to begin on Wednesday on Stoke Road Railway Bridge in Aylesbury.
Bucks County Council will be carrying out temporary road repairs over the Chiltern Railway lines on Stoke Road, with work finished by Friday.
Work involves the removal of defective area of anti-skid material on the bridge and replacing it.
Previous attempts to repair the area have been hindered by the cold weather.
Further permanent repair work is scheduled for later on in the year.
A section of Stoke Road will have to be controlled by temporary ‘Stop and Go’ boards to provide alternate one-way traffic flow during off-peak hours, between 9.30am-3.30pm, to ensure the works are carried out safely.

Monday, February 27, 2012 at 12:34 AMStoke, like everything else in this town, built to last a lifetime (if you are a Mayfly). . . . . Aqua Vale, 10 yrs old & has to have a very expensive revamp. Waterside, barely past its first birthday & it looks old & tired & bits keep dropping off. Information centre - open\closed???? who knows. Kingsbury water clock - why is it called a clock? If you painted a pair of hands on it it would be just as accurate. Bridge on the Oxford road by the college - again, not a very old piece of work and yet it's been dug up already. AVDC's own modern office suite - another dated & scabby looking building.

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 05:05 PMthey cant repair it properly there is a few more years money to be milked out of the bridge yet, like all road works in Aylesbury ,you dont want to kill the cash cow. that bridge is a very sore sight and gives a very bad immpresion on one of the major routes into town, it always reminds me of tempory bridges the Army erects to move there transport across rivers ETC, I have neverknown a town like Aylesbury for the never ending road works , I think the planners are not fit for purpose
