To mitigate against failure of bridge bearing
connection on Commercial Street Bridge.
The Commercial Street (Bow String) bridge forms a key link on the
Supertram network linking Sheffield City Centre to the east part of
the network, Meadowhall, Halfway and Herdings Park, including the
tram depot.
As part of their routine inspections SYSL has identified a
structural failure in the connection between the fixed bearing and
the bridge superstructure requiring immediate analysis and repair
work.
The structure is owned by SYMCA and will also be SYMCA operational
responsibility in March 2024 and as such need to determine and
implement a repair.
SYSL continues to monitor the defect for deterioration.
