The bridge was the scene of a bad accident in December, when a 14-year-old boy was burned. He and friends were playing on the bridge when he received an electric shock from power lines underneath it.

It is not yet known if the work is to improve safety at the bridge - Network Rail did not return calls from the Gazette yesterday.
