replace corroded rivets. This may involve replacing the steel deck plates, depending on their
condition.

brickwork in abutments and wing walls. This may involve structural sheet piling works to
redistribute loading away from failing brick elements.
Replace deteriorating Acme carriageway panels and sealant.
