Thanks for the heads up! That's good to know for future route planning. Any idea why they closed the bridge? Wonder if there's an alternate way to cross now or if it's just a detour. Always appreciate local cyclists sharing their regional knowledge - it helps those of us visiting navigate better. Safe travels out there!
The closure is a morbid one. It is popular with jumpers. It is a high bridge over an underpass. So it's been closed to prevent people using it for that. The redline would probably be the best (or least worst) way of making the same trip.
Hi, some more local knowledge. I was planning a route from Hadleigh Park to home and saw that the planner suggested going the wrong way on a dual carriageway
I’ve marked the bridge as “no access” in OSM and c.t will pick that up on the next routing update.
On the dual carriageway, it’s actually suggesting that you walk your bike across the road there (using the pavement) – you can see a little red pedestrian symbol in the turn-by-turn directions for that part.
