Kempston Mill Bridge Reopened Kemptson Mill Bridge was reopened in early February after having been closed since December 2020 due to rotting planks making the bridge unsafe to use. Due to delays relating to ownership of the structure, work on the bridge did not start until January 2022 and was not expected to be completed until Easter.
Pedestrians and cyclists can now use the route to Great Denham although there is still the narrow bridge across the back channel with steep steps on each side to negotiate. There is however a narrow metal cycle ramp on the side (see image right). This means the route is still impossible to use for the disabled, those with wheelchairs and families with large pushchairs and heavy non-standard bikes. Ramps were promised a few years ago but have still not materialised.
