WORK is expected to start in about two weeks on building a ‘retaining wall’ to support York’s ancient city walls at the site of the demolished Queen Street Bridge.
When the bridge was pulled down over the weekend of April 27/28, the approach ramp at the southern end was left in place to act as a 'piling platform' to allow the retaining wall to be built.
Council bosses stress that the city walls were closely monitored throughout the demolition process – and say ‘no movement has been recorded to date’.
