Pictures - see under the wrapping of Eastbourne footbridge revamp

East Sussex Highways said progress was being made at the Langney Rise Footbridge.

They added: "A full scaffold is in place to safely clean and re-paint the structure, and it’s been wrapped to reduce the environmental impact when grit-blasting and painting.

"So far, historic rust has been removed and primer applied, with steel repairs ongoing.

"Next steps include the footway across the bridge being painted with an anti-skid paint to ensure pedestrian safety.

"Once completed, the bridge will proudly shine in Eastbourne Blue.

"Completion is on track for Friday 31 October - just in time for Halloween!"
