Derby City Council has taken action to close the Darley Abbey temporary footbridge, known as Walter's Walkway, from 2.30pm today for safety reasons.
Erosion to the riverbank has been identified, which could be putting the structure at risk.
Detailed investigations will be carried out with key partners on Monday 15 December, but the bridge will remain closed as a precautionary measure until this has happened and the situation has been reviewed. A further update will be issued on Tuesday.
This is not a decision that we have taken lightly but we believe the safety of people is our priority. Access to businesses at Darley Abbey Mills during the closure will be from Haslams Lane.
