Working in partnership with Jacobs Engineering Group and Balfour Beaty, Construction Consultancy Services are delighted to say that crucial repairs and maintenance are now complete to New Elvet Bridge in Durham City.

New Elvet Bridge is a vital part of Durham Cities infrastructure and is an important link between the east and west sides of Durham carrying on average 17,000 vehicles a day. After 45 years of use, the bridge required important repairs and maintenance to protect this vital crossing point which included work to:

  • refurbish the deck joint on the northern (Claypath) side of the bridge
  • remove the deck joint on the southern (Elvet) side of the bridge, to create a continuous deck structure with reduced future maintenance requirements
  • waterproof the bridge deck
  • carry out concrete repairs throughout the whole structure, to improve and extend its life
  • improve drainage systems
  • implement a cathodic protection system to prevent metal corrosion
  • renew the protective coatings to the concrete surfaces, giving waterproof protection to the structure and generally improve the appearance of the bridge

As a result of meticulous planning and fantastic delivery, despite all of the risks and challenges that Covid 19 brought during this renovation, the project has been a huge success. The project managers really stepped up to ensure successful completion, the work undertaken truly is a real testament to all involved.
