BRIDGE ALERT: Closure of Lambley Viaduct to walkers and cyclists
Lambley Viaduct, south of Haltwhistle and part of the South Tyne Trail, is currently closed to walkers and cyclists, after a section of masonry fell from the top of one of the arches on the northern side.
The bridge belongs to the South Tynedale Railway Preservation Society and the County Council is working with them to establish the next steps. For public safety the footpath underneath the bridge at this point is also closed but a short alternative route is available using a footbridge to cross the South Tyne just downstream from the viaduct enabling walkers to still undertake the route from start to finish.
