Hartfield Bridge, allowing access to upper forestry plantations, was rebuilt in Summer 2006 by 11 Field Squadron 39 Royal Engineers (prior to their deployment to Iraq) as a training exercise for their young soldier engineers. The structure is now specified to accept 40 tonne lorries to carry timber.

Specialised engineering works on the abutments were undertaken to protect against spate river erosion.
