The Nature Reserve has worked closely with the project management team and contractors to minimize the impact of construction works on visitors, wildlife, and infrastructure. They have set specific working hours for construction traffic and have implemented measures to ensure access remains open during this time.

Professional estimates suggest that the Nature Reserve will need to raise around £500,000 to cover all associated costs of replacing the Works Bridge. Despite the significant financial investment required, the Nature Reserve remains committed to ensuring public safety and reopening the footpath and bridleway.

The construction work is expected to continue until at least August 2024. This timeline reflects the scale and complexity of the work involved in replacing the Works Bridge and carrying out essential works on the adjacent land.

Visitors should remain vigilant for construction traffic when accessing the Nature Reserve and using the designated access track. While there may be temporary disruptions due to construction activities, measures have been put in place to ensure visitor safety and minimize the impact on their experience at the reserve.
