Beef Island Bridge Needs Only Minor Repairs, Engineers Say
Written by admin on November 9, 2026
Calls for the government to inspect the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge have been answered.
A concerned resident posted a picture on Facebook showing part of the wall column under the bridge, and called on the Ministry of Communications and Works to deal with it before work starts on the airport expansion, when heavy trucks carrying rock are expected to cross.
Minister of Communications and Works Hon. Kye Rymer then inspected the bridge with engineers from the Public Works Department and Systems Engineering.
The engineers reported that the bridge is in good condition for a 30-year-old structure. They recommended minor remedial works and continued yearly inspections to keep it safe. Listen above for the full clip.
Good to know: No start date or lane closures have been announced for the repairs. FUZE will share them when they are.
