Carillion Civil Engineering is starting a US$6.3 million project this month to carry out essential structural repairs on the Canford Main Bridge and Canford Flood Arches in Poole, southern England.

Inspections had revealed a high rate of structural deterioration due to factors including weathering of the original stonework, increased traffic volumes and water damage. A cantilevered footway built in the 1960s has also deteriorated and is to be replaced as part of the project.
