Who is responsible for bridges and culverts on Rights of Way?
Responsibility for the provision, repair and maintenance of bridges and culverts is shared between the landowner and the county council and may be different in each case. We are responsible for most footbridges, but where a public footpath or bridleway crosses a bridge, over which there are private vehicular rights, then maintenance of the bridge to vehicular standard is likely to be the responsibility of the landowner.
