Leeds City Council has confirmed the much-anticipated date Linton Bridge will reopen next month following the completion of an extensive repair project.
The grade II-listed structure over the River Wharfe which connects the communities of Linton and Collingham will reopen to all users on Saturday 2 September for the first time since being closed due to significant flood damage caused by the impact of Storm Eva on December 27 2015.
The bridge, which was built in the early to mid-19th century, suffered major damage to its foundations during the floods, with the south pier visibly sinking, along with cracks in the central and southern arches and damage to the stone parapets and walls.
The total repair cost has been £5.1m and has been fully funded by the Department for Transport.
