WHITCHURCH BRIDGE CLOSURE
The latest news on the re-opening of Whitchurch Bridge is that the bridge company is planning to re-open the bridge to road traffic some time in September 2014. However there are still risks in the work programme and as these are resolved there will be further updates on the re-opening date.
This means that if you need to cross the Thames to get to any of the walks in our September to November Programme you may need to allow extra time going via Goring or Reading.
Further details can be found on the Whitchurch Bridge Website.
