The closure for reconstruction of the road bridge across the railway would mean an unacceptable diversion for people on foot to reach the schools and hospital. This temporary structure has been erected to serve during the building works. Ironically this is the exact alignment of the old level crossing which was replaced by the bridge in 1928.
