It comes as a pedestrian bridge is causing chaos for Bristol ferries and pedestrians<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Bristol City Council is currently recruiting for the position of Bridges and Structures Inspector to work across all of its highway bridges, footbridges, retaining walls, culverts and associated infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The person responsible will need to keep Bristol’s ‘spectacular waterfront city on the move, from a maritime and Highway perspective.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The role, the council says, will ‘suit an individual who has some degree of structural experience…’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes as a main pedestrian bridge crossing the harbour caused chaos this week following a hydraulics fail during safety testing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pero’s Bridge connects Narrow Quay with Loverose Way, seeing heavy footfall between Queen Square and Millennium Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bristol Community Ferry Boats are also affected. They are currently unable to stop at their City Centre pick up and drop off point because it’s not safe to sail under the bridge. The closed central stop comes right in the middle of the busy summer holiday period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bristol Community Ferry Boats says: ‘There is a fault at Pero’s Bridge which means our boats can’t gain access to the City Centre landing stage. Please make your way to the Prince Street Bridge (Arnolfini) landing stage as an alternative.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘We look forward to resuming our services at City Centre as soon as possible.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
