Member of Parliament for North West Manchester Mikael Phillips has called on the National Works Agency to provide an update on repair works on the Troy Bridge.

The bridge collapsed in August 2021 during the passage of a tropical storm.

Phillips had lobbied for the bridge to be fixed.

That project started earlier this year, but the repair work reportedly came to a halt in July after the excavator overturned and fell into the Hector River.

Mr. Phillips expressed concern about the delay in fixing the bridge while speaking at Parliament’s recent Infrastructure and Physical Development Committee.
