National Highways are clsoing the footway/cycletrack over the M2 bridge for parapet maintenance works.
Shuttle bus (working on getting accessibility info added to the website) or make up your own diversion (working on getting an "approved" signed diversion).
Classic "beware of the leopard" standard of comms from National Highways on this one. Whilst there was some earlier consultation there's been no effort to send any updates or amend the webpage until queries were raised when signs appeared on site.
Edit: Original completion date of 21 Nov has passed, still closed, no update on re-opening from NH.

I rode up there on one occasion when it was "open".
Came face to face with a construction lorry coming the other way - it seems to be regularly used when maintenance work is being carried out.
The fact that it is a shared use pedestrian/cycle path doesn't seem to register with the authorities.

Re-opened yesterday, some minor works continue.
National Highways comms over progress on the works which were due to finish mid-November have been non-existent.

Thanks for the info gaz.
Although if minor works are continuing I'll be looking out for construction lorries and materials piled in the path.
