Read moreIn Autumn 2014 the government announced the creation of the Local Highways Maintenance Challenge Fund worth £575 million nationally split into two tranches over the next six years from 2015/16 to 2020/21.

Cleveland Bridge, which carries the A36 through Bath, is a historically and strategically significant structure. Surveys have identified that structural components of the bridge are life expired and in need of maintenance, repair or replacement.
