If you cross brick farm access bridges with heavy or wide agricultural vehicles and machinery please refer to the ‘Risk of Structural Failure to Brick Farm Access Bridges’ awareness briefing.
Network Rail has recently experienced several incidents which have resulted in substantial damage to brick farm access bridges due to vehicles that are too wide or too heavy to use the bridge safely.
The briefing explains how structural damage can occur to brick farm access bridges and measures that can be taken to help prevent this in the future, and thus ensuring your safe use.
Network Rail is encouraging farm access bridge users to contact them should they have any concerns relating to:
- possible bridge damage,
- to discuss safe bridge loadings, or
- report incidents.
