Repair Collin's bridge

A bigger project we're working towards - repairing Collin's bridge across the span. We're weighing up a DIY approach against a professional installation.

Effort Major — multi-day or specialist

Collin's bridge needs repairing. This is a bigger project, and we're weighing up two approaches.

Option 1 — a DIY approach

Concrete lintels across the span with blockwork. Materials cost to be confirmed; the saving comes from doing the work ourselves with the right expertise on hand.

Option 2 — a professional installation

A proprietary span (for example, Bison bridges), in the region of £25,000–£30,000 plus VAT.

If you have structural or civil engineering experience, or could help us towards funding, this is one where expertise and support would make a real difference. We'd love to hear from you.

What would help

  • Structural / civil engineering advice
  • Funding towards the works
  • Concrete lintels and blockwork (for the DIY option)
