AFTER over two years of waiting, Ovingham Bridge has re-opened
The bridge officially opened at midday on Monday after first closing in June 2013.
A crowd from the village came to see the bridge re-open for the second time; it first re-opened in December 2015 but was closed just two days later after the area was hit by Storm Desmond.
Dean Bowen from the village was the first to cross the bridge.
See more on the bridge re-opening in this week's Hexham Courant.
