A council spokesperson said: “After a steel plate became detached from the bridge in March, two-way traffic lights and a 20mph speed limit were put in place until investigations and temporary repairs could be designed and carried out.
“During these repairs, we uncovered issues with more plates, so the 20mph restriction and speed ramps remain in place.
“This is not a straightforward repair, and we are working with partners on a design scheme.
“We are unable to confirm a timeline for repairs, but we expect it to be later this year.
“We will provide updates when possible and are committed to keeping disruption to a minimum.”
