Emergency lane control on historic Sussex bridge
A goods vehicle struck the masonry wall on the westbound lane of a bridge in Midhurst, causing a major issue on the important A272 road link.
Highways contractors did a very temporary mitigation, but a semi-permanent solution was required pronto.
As is often the way, simply locating the equipment – in this case six temporary vehicle control barriers (TVCBs) – is one thing; having a logistics team that can pull together the correct transport, cranes and trained operatives to mount a same-day mission for a 21:00 hrs roadside install is quite another.
But just like contractors up and down the country, our customer knew that the Road Plate Hire team were always going to be the ones to come up with the goods!
