Milky Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Set of for Chester today (Friday) got to Chester Road and came to a stop. Sat for 30 minutes or so in stationary traffic, sat nav told me there was a delay of 4 minutes, risked 6 points and a fine by checking the net via my phone which said 20 minutes delay. Eventually turned round and went home. Nothing on any of the news feeds, someone said the bridge was stuck, anyone know what happened? PS I used to be able to click the heading and it used to take me to the news page, but not anymore. How about a link to the news pages from the forums.

Evil Sid Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Is that bridge app thingy still up and running that is supposed to tell you when the bridges are off and for how long? nothing on the news page about it yet. Nothing on the grundian webpage either they will probably have it by next friday with a main headline of "major traffic chaos in warrington". never noticed the lack of a news page link until you mentioned it. not used that link since the forum update. should be easy to re-establish a hyperlink to the news page from the banner at the top like it used to do.

Confused52 Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 The twitter feed the council used to run at https://twitter.com/trafficwarr seems to have uttered its last gasp on Aug 30th. The data was sourced from Peel so it didn't even cost them anything to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Yes there was a problem with the Chester Road swing bridge. Not sure quite what the problem was but they seemed to be having trouble getting it to swing into position and kept having to retry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Won't be down to lack of maintenance that is for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
