The Eastville Viaduct over the M32 has 'serious defects', according to a recent safety report.
By Emma Elgee & Alex SeabrookThe Eastville Viaduct, which carries traffic over junction two of the M32 in Bristol has "serious defects".National Highways said the bridge is "structurally sound and safe" and is planning a major programme of repairs, not scheduled to start until 2026.
It says work will include repairing concrete and installing new barriers, waterproofing and drainage. A recent Freedom of Information request revealed that concrete on the bridge is cracking and bearings are corroding. Underneath the bridge, several large areas of spalling, when concrete starts cracking and exposing reinforced steel, can be seen.
