Fen Footbridge located between Dedham and Flatford will be closed until further notice (National Grid Reference: NGR TM 06742 33609).

This is due to ongoing health & safety inspections and monitoring which now indicate the bridge is in danger of collapse so under no circumstances should anyone attempt to navigate beneath the bridge at present.

Signage and navigation closure booms are being placed on site and Local Authority Highways Contrcators are looking into portage provision around the closure until they can undertake remedial works.

For further information, please contact the Suffolk Highways Customer Services Line 0345 606 6171 in the first instance or the Environment Agency on 03708 506 506 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday and ask for the Great Ouse and Stour Waterways team.

In an emergency call the Environment Agency incident line: 0800 80 70 60 anytime. Thank you.
