National Highways said 'many options' were considered
The bridge over the major and very busy Sefton road was knocked down after being damaged by a lorry last year. However National Highways announced it would not be replacing the Park Bridge at Dunningsbridge Road, instead favouring junction crossings.
Mr Dowd said he would be urging National Highways to "reverse" the decision, a view echoed by Sefton Council's leader Cllr Ian Maher who called the decision "arbitrary" and against the wishes of the local community, also calling on National Highways to reinstate plans to replace the bridge.
Local residents have also taken to social media in anger at the decisions, with concerns about safety of people crossing the busy A5036 after receiving letters from National Highways notifying them of the decision. National Highways said its decision to proceed with an alternative, involving junction improvements and the installation of crossing points creates "creates a safer experience for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, parents with pushchairs and those with mobility challenges."
