Loud Halloween Music Blamed for Pero's Bridge Collapse in Bristol

RecentNews.uk

Pero's bridge collapsed into Bristol Harbour on the evening of 31 October.

Harbour committee chair Andrew Brown suggested loud Halloween music or heavy traffic may have triggered the failure.

The bridge was already scheduled for a £1.54m repair project due to a summer mechanical breakdown.

Council officials aim to safely remove the spans and restore the bridge by summer 2027.

Plans for a temporary replacement bridge have been scrapped due to high costs.

Should Bristol City Council fund a temporary bridge while Pero's bridge is repaired?
