Sculcoates Moving Bridge (also known as Chapman Street Bridge)

Sculcoates moving bridge

The Grade II-listed Sculcoates Bridge, also known as Chapman Street Bridge, opened in 1874 but has been closed to motorists since March 2020, after an inspection found that its condition had deteriorated to the point that it was no longer safe to carry motor vehicles, and was at risk of collapse.

Since January 2022, the initial consultation and feasibility was completed by Pell Frischmann. The scheme development is expected to start within the next five years.

Details of the confirmed programme, including exact timeframes, will be announced on this page, and on Hull CC News.

In the meantime, whilst the programme is being developed, the bridge remains open to pedestrians and cyclists and is regularly monitored for safety.

Our work isn’t always visible. We may be carrying out scheme development, design work or undertaking statutory consultations in preparation for the works. When on-site, we may be conducting inspections and repairs underneath the road surface.
