OpenBridge

This specialised service applies the power of the Met Office's OpenRoad approach to help people tasked with bridge operations to minimise the impact of the weather.

Accurate forecasts are based on data derived from on-site sensors, with information delivered to customers via a password-protected web site or a modem link to ice prediction systems or RWIS.

We'll give you enough warning so you can take appropriate action - in worst-case scenarios, closing bridges to ensure safety.

Our automated services include:

  • site-specific ice-prediction forecasts;
  • 24-hour forecasts;
  • 2- to 5-day forecasts;
  • Direct telephone access to a forecaster, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

For further information about working with the Met Office on weather solutions please contact our 24-hour Customer Centre or contact openroad@metoffice.gov.uk.
