Report damage to a bridge, subway or road retaining wall
We inspect and maintain many highway structures across South Gloucestershire.
Highway structures include:
- footpath and road bridges
- retaining walls
- culverts (structures carrying roads over rivers, watercourses or ditches)
- cattle grids
- pedestrian subways
Bridges and structures over and under motorways are the responsibility of National Highways (formerly Highways England).
Bridges which carry railways over roads are normally the responsibility of Network Rail.
