Ayr bridge reopens ahead of schedule

Ayr’s Millennium Bridge has reopened to the public following the successful completion of a programme of essential maintenance works.

Ayrshire Roads Alliance confirmed that the project was finished well ahead of the original anticipated completion date of Sunday, June 28.

The works included blast cleaning and repainting the steel structure, along with the replacement of anti-slip surfacing on the bridge deck.

The bridge remains an important walking and cycling link within Ayr, and its reopening will be welcomed by regular users.

Ayrshire Roads Alliance thanked residents and commuters for their patience during the works.
