Prior to building, during the planning and after opening many ‘local’ long term residents questioned the suitability of where the ‘Bridge’ was built.
Question being the stability of the land – they, we, were always told all tests were carried out and there were no issues.

Lane closed on road between Whittlesey and Peterborough after cracks appear on carriageway.
A lane on a main road between Whittlesey and Peterborough is set to be closed for at least a week after cracks appeared on the carriageway.
The westbound carriageway, (heading to Peterborough), on the Ralph Butcher Causeway at King’s Dyke has been temporarily closed by Cambridgeshire County Council.
A spokesperson for the council said: “One lane has been temporarily closed using two-way traffic lights, as a precaution, after some cracks have appeared on the edge of the road. This is in place while our contractor, Jones Bros, carry out some tests which will involve digging into the road.
