Here Bencoolen Road has been diverted to pass over a temporary bridge over the River Neet. Construction work was planned to start on 17 September 2012 as the condition of the current bridge had deteriorated over recent years. Cornwall Council has designed a replacement to supplement the town’s existing flood defences while being in keeping with the surrounding environment http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=32372
