Masham Bridge repairs to begin next month
Delayed works to repair Masham Bridge look set to begin in June.
The Grade II listed bridge was damaged after a car ploughed through a wall and almost ended up in the River Ure in December.
After the incident, a police spokesman said a man in his 30s was very lucky to escape without any injuries.
Since December, temporary traffic lights have caused disruption to motorists crossing the bridge.
North Yorkshire County Council said it has been unable to retrieve stones from the collapsed wall that sunk in the river due to high water levels.
Melisa Burnham, highways area manager at NYCC, said the authority hopes work to repair the bridge will begin in June in time for the summer tourist season.
