North Yorkshire Council say work is due to begin on Monday, October 14, to repair Grosmont Bridge. It's expected to take five days for work to fix the damaged parapet wall using breeze blocks.
The council has been working with the North York Moors National Park Authority on a repair scheme to Grosmont Bridge following the accident in early August.
They say the works will allow the bridge to reopen over the winter months, with the aim of carrying out permanent repairs in the spring once a scheme has been approved by planners at the National Park.
North Yorkshire Council’s executive member for highways and transport, Cllr Keane Duncan, said: “We appreciate the inconvenience that the closure of this key road continues to have. That’s why we have been working hard to reopen the bridge.
“As soon as the coach was removed from the stream, our highways team carried out investigations to determine the scale of repairs required. Some blocks were smashed when they hit the bottom of the beck and were crushed by the bus, adding complexity to the repair work required.
