Piano Bridge To Open Tomorrow!

Piano Bridge in Lower Trostre Road, Llanelli, re-opens tomorrow (Friday, June 1st) at 11am.

Bad wet weather conditions through April have caused a delay to completing the bridge rebuild and strengthening works.

A spokesman for Network Rail said: “We could not have anticipated the wettest April and early May in more than a 100 years which has specifically held up essential waterproofing work to the bridge deck. This type of work is reliant on favourable weather conditions which we have enjoyed for the last fortnight.”

There has been widespread disruption for commuters, commercial deliveries and visitors since the necessary bridge replacement works started in January. The double bridge spans the main London to Fishguard rail line and a bank of disused sidings.

It is the widest rail crossing Road Bridge in Carmarthenshire. The bridge reconstruction works was completed on time in late March. It was only the weather proofing that has to be completed when the fine weather window of opportunity allowed.
