Stamford Bridge road bridge reopens

The historic road bridge at Stamford Bridge has reopened two weeks ahead of schedule following an essential repair scheme.

The single-track bridge – which carries the busy A166 road between Driffield and York – reopened in time for the evening rush hour today (Friday 12 July ) after eight weeks of work to strengthen the structure was completed.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council invested £350,000 in repairing the Grade 11 listed bridge and improving road safety, following years of damage caused by vehicles.
