This bridge or, more properly, culvert was inspected two years ago by the Commissioners of Public Works scheme foreman when it was understood that the person in question intended to deepen it himself. Due to pressure of work on the engineer, who is responsible for a number of schemes throughout a very wide area, he was unable to inspect the culvert until recently. A more thorough inspection to enable him to take levels, et cetera, is necessary but this cannot be carried out until water conditions are suitable.
