       Notes - general: Longitudinal stiffener to crossbeam welds on the
                        Severn Crossing have failed in service due to fatigue.
                        This report describes the final stage of a programme
                        of work to develop a repair method which will also
                        strengthen the joint to give an adequqte service life.
                        It is estimated that the repair must increase the life
                        of the joint by a factor of nine.
