A temporary bridge will fall into place in Coventry city centre on Sunday as part of the development of the Lower Precinct.

A huge crane will drop the construction into place at 3am to allow motorists to use the car park in Market Way.

The parking area, which is on top of Coventry Retail Market roof, will now be accessed from the Barracks car park.

The bridge will cross Market Way at the point where the Bedrock nightclub previously stood.

It is a temporary measure until a new multi-story car park is built as part of the Lower Precinct development.

An existing multi-storey at the back of the Retail Market is being demolished.

Engineers will work on the bridge for a week to make sure it is safe, and it should be re-opened by the bank holiday weekend.

It will be single carriageway, with traffic going in both directions being controlled by a traffic light.

To help cars get out of the car park quickly, another exit in the Barracks car park will be opened and the Greyfriars Road ramp at the rear of Argos will be converted to exit-only.

Once work on the bridge is completed a temporary arrangement where the users of the Market Way and City Arcade side of the car park got free parking will end.
