City of York Council has deferred a scheme to raise the pathway at the Millennium Bridge to stop it from flooding until it gets approval from the Environment Agency.
City of York Council has deferred a scheme to raise the pathway at the Millennium Bridge to stop it from flooding until it gets approval from the Environment Agency.
High levels of the River Ouse continously lead to pathways by the Millennium Bridge in York being blocked by water. Funding has already been allocated to make improvements to the section of National Cycle Network Route 65 that runs through York, including work to raise the level of the existing paths towards Millennium Bridge.
Due to the length of time required to approve the work this scheme has been deferred by a year to 2024 as it cannot be carried out during the winter flood season.
