A NORTH-EAST maintenance company has been praised for the swift completion of works to a Grade II listed bridge.
Stone Technical Services, based in Darlington, carried out the repair and restoration of Sutton Bridge, in North Yorkshire.
The repairs to the bridge, which links the towns of Elvington and Sutton-on-Derwent, in East Riding, had to be completed during a 21-day bridge closure period to minimise disruption. The bridge was damaged during the winter following a road accident.
Periods were set aside for pedestrians to freely cross the bridge and a free shuttle bus was provided between the two village halls.
Arrangements were also put in place to allow a number of charity cycle rides and races over the bridge to go ahead.
