A 19th-CENTURY bridge is undergoing renovation to bring it into line with European strength requirements.
Shortlands Bridge, which carries Beckenham Lane over the River Ravensbourne in Bromley, will be partly dismantled for the works starting in July and continuing for about 14 weeks.
The bridge deck will be replaced with reinforced concrete and the original brick parapets and cast-iron railings refurbished.
One half of the bridge will be kept open to traffic during the work. Alternative routes will be signposted.
