Bollihope Ford Bridge, between Stanhope, in Weardale, and Egglestone, in Teesdale, needed reinforcing to bear the weight of 40-tonne lorries.
A £41,000 strengthening scheme involved demolishing and replacing the existing bridge deck, new parapets, waterproofing, resurfacing and reinstatement of the verges
