The works that were being carried out were in connection with the
Banbury Flood Alleviation Scheme commissioned by the Environment
Agency. This is to the East of the bridge and extends to (Little)
Bourton Lock No 27. Earth movers crossed this bridge carrying earth
for the 2.9 metre high embankment in which two flow regulating flumes
have been installed to back up the water flowing in the River
Cherwell to fill a temporary catchment on the fields behind the
embankment. There are no moving parts in the project. It is designed
to keep the levels in the river below the barrier to within those
expected of a "100 year event".In the past two years it has
been in full operation once already.
