[]
Isle Of Wight Radio
A programme of work to protect bridges, retaining walls and roads across the Isle of Wight is nearing completion.
Work has taken place at several locations, including Muggleton Bridge near Brighstone, Gunville Bridge, Kingates Lane Bridge near Whitwell and St George's Way Bridge in Newport.
The work has included maintaining bridge supports and retaining walls, as well as protecting riverbanks from erosion.
Pedestrian and cycling access has been maintained at Muggleton Bridge, helping to keep the popular round-the-Island cycle route open.
The programme has also provided practical experience for civil engineering student Scott Beasley, who has been working with Island Roads' structures team as part of a university placement.
