The replacement bridge in Laxey is on track to be completed by the end of September.
The Department of Infrastructure (DoI) insists the construction of the new bridge is on schedule and is in line with the planned timetable for the scheme.
Work is currently taking place to connect the utilities, to surface the bridge deck and to prepare for the installation of the railings, lighting, street furniture and adornments.
The cost of the completed scheme will be £550,000.
Unlike during TT, the bridge will not be open temporarily for the Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling which takes place from August 20 to September 2.
A statement issued by the DoI said: ‘The bridge will not be open on a temporary basis during the Festival of Motorcycling as it was during the TT, as this would involve further significant costs and delay the completion of the overall scheme.’
Work on the new structure began in May after the old bridge was irreparably damaged in December when flash flooding caused part of the structure to collapse – plunging a double decker bus into the river below.
Demolition contractors JCK were mobilised for the delicate operation of removing the Bus Vannin double decker and demolishing the remainder of the bridge.
A temporary pedestrian footbridge was erected while plans were drawn up for a permanent replacement.
The DoI sought the views of villagers, local politicians and heritage bodies over four possible options for the replacement bridge.
While many people wanted the option of a new arched bridge, the department’s engineers opted for a flat bridge which will reduce the likelihood of any future flood damage by allowing the river to flow unimpeded out to sea.
A department spokesman said: ‘Once completed, the replacement bridge will be better equipped to survive the sort of flooding that devastated homes and businesses in Laxey at the end of 2015.
‘The Department of Infrastructure wishes to thank people for their patience and understanding while the work takes place.’
