A familiar riverside landmark has disappeared – for the time being.
The Blue Bridge was lifted up, up and away today ready for its big clean.
It has been out of bounds for a month as part of the renovation programme.
But today the bridge was winched away from the River Foss, and loaded onto a trailer.

A temporary walkway and bridge has been put in place for pedestrians and cyclists.
The bridge work will include general painting and repairs to the bridge parapet railings, the removal of old paintwork and steelwork repairs.
