Plans to install a bus gate were given the go ahead this afternoon.
The bridge will be closed to all motor vehicles, except buses, pedestrians, cyclists, emergency services, taxis and blue badge holders’ registered vehicles.
Work is expected to start next month (November) and be completed in December.
Cllr Henry Batchelor, chair of the special Highways and Transport Committee at Cambridgeshire County Council, said:
Today, as the chair of this special committee, we heard from all sides and listened to the concerns raised. There has been a lot of engagement on this project and whilst this was not an easy decision, we agreed restricting most of the traffic over the bridge would be beneficial and give local people more improvements.
