π§ Bideford Long Bridge to Close Overnight β Drivers Face Disruption This Week π§
Motorists are being advised of upcoming overnight closures on Bideford Long Bridge, set to take place from Monday 11th May to Friday 14th May 2026.
The bridge will be closed to all vehicles between 7:00pm and 6:00am each night, while essential works are carried out to replace 48 LED light bulbs. The project is being completed by a joint team from Bideford Town Council, D S Electrical and Nick Sampson Transport.
Good news for those on foot β the bridge will remain open to pedestrians at all times.
Bideford Town Council has thanked the public for their patience while the work is completed, which will restore the bridge lighting to its full effect.
This is likely to impact evening and early morning journeys, so drivers are encouraged to plan ahead.
