Poole's Twin Sails Bridge to reopen in February
The bridge has been undergoing repairs since December 2025
Twin Sails Bridge in Poole is expected to reopen in February after repairs are completed.
The bridge has been closed to traffic since August 2025 and repairs started in December but were delayed after issues with the manufacturing of supplies.
In a statement at the time BCP council said: "“There has been a delay, outside of the Council’s control, relating to a key process in the manufacturing of the components from our supplier.
"This process must happen to ensure the components meet the required safety standards needed to be installed."
In an update today (January 7) Cllr Andy Hadley, BCP Council Cabinet Member for Climate Response, Environment and Energy, said
“We’ll be completing the remaining works on Twin Sails Bridge between 28 January and 1 February. During this time, the bridge will remain in the lowered position.
"Subject to successful completion of the repairs and adequate test lifts, the bridge will be re-opened to traffic and return to normal operation on 2 February.
"We would like to thank residents for their continued patience while we carry out these essential repairs.”
