A Grade II-listed bridge on a heritage railway line is due to reopen after essential restoration work to its stonework and arches.
North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR)’s Bridge 42, at Grosmont, was built in around 1846, and will reopen on 23 May.
The company say the full line from Pickering to Whitby will open for the season from 1 June.
CEO of NYMR Laura Strangeway said: “After 180 years of faithful service, Bridge 42 now needs urgent repairs to keep trains running safely into the future.”
The bridge’s reopening date had to be pushed back from the May bank holiday weekend after the train company discovered more work needed to be done.
A full repair programme will take place over the closed season during the winter of 2026/27, which will restore the bridge to its “long-term structural integrity and ensure its preservation for future generations”, Strangeway said.
