A ‘bridge to nowhere’ across the railway close to Wokingham station is now expected to be completed by “early September”.
The Tanhouse bridge was installed, minus the connecting steps, in February.
Since then, the bridge has been waiting for completion.
Residents took to social media to express their frustrations on being unable to use what one described as an important connection to the town centre.
In response to a request from Wokingham Today, a spokesperson for Network Rail said: “Balfour Beatty, who are working with Network Rail on the construction of Tanhouse Bridge, are in the process of terminating existing contracts with the previous bridge fabrication contractor, due to them entering administration.
“They have now acquired the necessary certificates, materials and design information to continue the project and, where necessary, re-contract the work to another fabricator.
“We are hopeful that the bridge will now be completed by early September.
“The new bridge, once completed, will be a much more sustainable structure with a passive provision for future accessibility improvements.”
