Colstrope Lane closed for bridge rebuilding The bridge has been rebuilt as shown in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2339183">SU7888 : Colstrope Bridge rebuilt</a> and the road is just being resurfaced. The road was completely blocked even to pedestrians, and to get through I had to wheel my bicycle through the field and squeeze through a gap.
