It will open on Bank Holiday Monday
Bickleigh Bridge on the A396 in Mid Devon will reopen to traffic on Bank Holiday Monday, a week earlier than planned.
It closed on 18 May after an articulated lorry hit the wall on the downstream side.
The driver realised he had taken the wrong line onto the bridge and attempted to reverse - it was this reversing manoeuvre that caused the damage.
It's been closed to traffic since the accident, although pedestrians and cyclists have been allowed access.
Skilled stonemasons have worked everyday in all weather conditions to repair the bridge so the busy main road can be opened.
