Above ground, it seems that there is little left to do except put a tarmac surface on the roadway. However there is still cosmetic work needed on the bridge piers.
In the foreground, at this end of the footway, there is a picture of the old bridge. It is almost impossible to see in this picture, but is shown in
NY4724 : The new Pooley Bridge.
For a history of the bridges old and new, see

Once again, my sincere thanks to Michael Earnshaw for taking these photos at a time when it was impossible for me to visit the Lake District.
