Lower Otter Valley footbridge – the final lift

The last section of the footbridge was hoisted into place soon after 8 am on Saturday, catching out many on social media who expected it to occur around 9 am.

Again Owl has been sent images.

Owl understands that the bridge will not be open for a few months whilst a 70m section of the 200 year old embankment is lowered and removed to allow the saline tidal water gradually to fill the reconnected estuary.
