Bridges and highway structures

Report a bridge or highway structure problem

After you make a report

We'll investigate the problem:

  • If we own and maintain the structure and it's in a dangerous condition, we'll make sure it's made safe and aim to organise the next steps within 10 working days.
  • If we do not own the structure and it's an immediate danger to the public, we'll make it safe. We'll then follow up with the owners to carry out any further repairs and repay us for the maintenance work.
