Earlier this week it was revealed by Avison Young Property Management Consultancy - who manage the bridge on behalf of Glass Wharf Management Company - that the bridge would be 'fully operational very soon'.
After more than a year-and-a-half of delays as an insurance claim dragged on and the specialist components of the distinctive bridge had to be painstakingly reconstructed, it has been announced that commuters and visitors will once again be able to use the route.
