Reconstruction of Cowbridge, Malmesbury
Cowbridge, Malmesbury carries the B4042, Swindon Road over the Bristol River Avon. The seven span reinforced concrete bridge was constructed circa 1930 replacing a previous arched causeway type structure.
The picture below shows the existing bridge being installed as the old 1930’s structure was being demolished.
An assessment of Cowbridge was undertaken in May 1997 which concluded that it was sub-standard with a range of defects affecting every span, corrosion, and cracking in the piers and in the highway.
The bridge has come to the end of its life!
