A number of changes are being made to the Jane Coston bridge over the next few weeks. Most significantly cameras are going to be installed to monitor the bridge, which should help deter those who have caused trouble there in the past.

The County Council continues to be concerned that cyclists coming down from the bridge on the Milton side may fail to stop to give way to traffic at the bottom. As an experiment, 'ripple print' is to be installed in an attempt to slow cyclists down. This is a wavy painted surface that is, apparently, only comfortable to cycle on at low speed. It will be removed if it proves unsuccessful.

On the south side of the bridge cyclists have long complained about the obstruction of the path by three bollards. The Highways Agency has now agreed to remove one of them.

Finally the planting scheme for the landscaping around the bridge is finally getting underway.
