In early August 2024 the bridge was again hit by a vehicle, this time a Toyota Prius working as an Uber taxi.

The damage caused is not visually as significant as the 2015 collision but the bridge is likely to remain closed for the foreseeable future as structural assessments and repairs are conducted.

[3] The temporary access scaffold required to complete the works had to consider the ancient monument status of the bridge so could not be tied into the structure.

Suspending a scaffold from the carriageway was also unsuitable because the bridge could not withstand the kentledge weight required.

The chosen solution was for the scaffold to be founded on the river bed with tubes secured around piers providing anchorage.
