Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Bristol City Council / Bristol Harbour Authority
Delivery parties
Marine lifting and towage arranged for the November removal; current contractor appointment and full repair programme require the council contract records.
Contract route
Council repair-contract decisions recorded by the 15 September Harbour Committee. Harbour notice 48/26 governs the planned span removal and towage operation.
Execution window
Daylight lifting and vessel movements during the week of 2 November 2026. The harbour notice specifies removal to Albion Dry Dock rather than a bridge reopening date.
Works package
Lifting and removal of three bridge spans, barge transport to Albion Dry Dock and the associated clearance of affected moorings and transit workfront.
Marine interfaces
The floating lift position, tow route and receiving dock each require reserved space. Navigation restrictions can follow the barge manoeuvre beyond the immediate bridge opening.
Commercial evidence boundary
Mooring relocation and transit clearance determine when the lifting spread can work. A daylight-only movement programme needs a receiving slot as well as a crane booking.

Evidence gap

What remains unverified

Outstanding evidence

  • Daily lifting and towage instructions
  • Mooring clearance and Albion Dry Dock receiving arrangements
  • Survey movements and the specific locks needed for plant transit
