THREE public exhibitions are being held about the planned closure of Powick bridge this summer due to strengthening work.

Worcestershire County Council is staging the displays to tell people about the work being undertaken and help people find alternative routes.

The bridge will be closed for six weeks from mid July. The old Powick bridge will be opened to give access for pedestrians.

Signs alerting people to the closure will be put up throughout Worcester and on the M5. Powick roundabout will remain open.

The exhibitions will be open from 5.30pm to 8pm and are on Monday and Tuesday, June 4 and 5 at Bromyard Road Methodist Church, St John's, Wor-cester; on Wednesday and Thursday, June 6 and 7, at Powick Primary School; and on Monday and Tuesday, June 11 and 12, at Chase Technology College.
