Stamford's iconic Town Bridge is being surveyed today to make sure it's in good condition ahead of waterproofing maintenance work this summer.

Water Street is expected to be closed until around 5pm this afternoon, with four way temporary lights on the High Street nearby. The crew working for Lincolnshire County Council's Highways Team are using ground penetrating radar to get an accurate picture of the condition of the structure.
