Bridge design wind error adds £20m to construction costs

Lincolnshire County Council has warned that its £148m Grantham Southern Relief Road could cost an extra £20m to build following a bridge design error.
The issues with the rollout of the bridge over the River Witham and the East Coast Main Line will also delay completion of the route by a year to 2026.
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “This mistake related to the how the bridge was to be installed and us being told it couldn’t be pushed into place
