Poole’s Twin Sails Bridge reopens early following planned maintenance

The Twin Sails Bridge in Poole has been reopened to the public after planned routine maintenance.

The bridge was set to be closed between 6am on 28 April and 8pm on 4 May 2025, but reopened at 2pm on Friday 2 May.

As part of this annual maintenance, the team carried out a five yearly full structure inspection, electrical safety testing, and planned repairs.

Walkers, wheelers, and vehicles can now reuse the bridge with the timetable for lifting returning to normal, ahead of the long Bank Holiday weekend.
