This is an image of Black Potts footbridge in 2014.\u00a0 Please follow the link below to see three pairs of Black Potts footbridge timber decay images dated 2024\/25.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first image (from the Inspection Report) of each pair was recorded between one and two years before the recent comparative (second) image that records the significant and accelerating deterioration that has taken place.<\/strong>\u00a0 These images are truly shocking.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The third pair of images are the most remarkable in terms of the rate of material fracture propagation over time.\u00a0 They record both the significant vertical widening and the horizontal extension of the upper right hand fissure – over a relatively short period of time.<\/p>\n
