[CUCBC Contacts] Chisholm Trail bridge installation - river closures

[Conor Burgess]

Dear all,

Unfortunately these works have been delayed by issues with the licenses required to complete the works. Supposedly they will now start on the 5th August, but that isn’t confirmed. I’ll let you all know when we have confirmed dates.

Best wishes,
Conor
