What you need to know about Ash Road Bridge
The Ash Road Bridge scheme is an important infrastructure project to improve connectivity for the new homes in Ash.
The new Chester Bridge is now open to all vehicles and pedestrians.
The level crossing is closed to vehicles. Pedestrians and cyclists can still cross the railway at the level crossing, which closes around eight times an hour or 150 times a day.
The scheme will improve safety for residents and users of Ash train station. It will also reduce traffic congestion in the area and encourage traffic off rural roads.
