The
Main works are Monton Canal Bridge Vehicle Restraint System
Protection Scheme.
 
Options considered and
rejected were:
Not to award the Contract.
 
Assessment of Risk: Low –
Salford City Council Engineering and Landscape Department are well
versed in delivering works of this nature.
 
The risk of not
undertaking the works is that a vehicular collision could cause
structural damage to the bridge resulting in a bridge closure and
significant impact on the Highway Network, with no simple diversion
route available to lessen the impact on the passage of
vehicles.  Furthermore, the cost for the
repair works following vehicle collision are likely to be
substantial in comparison to the cost of the vehicular restraint
measures proposed.
 
The source of funding
is:
the 2025/26 Highways Capital Programme.
