The local Cambridgeshire paper reports that the Offord Cluny Level Crossing south of Huntingdon on the ECML has been closed.

I have not read any report of it being replaced by a bridge. Has it been replaced or has it just closed ?
Personally I think that all Level Crossings on the ECML south of Peterborough should be replaced by bridges. I'm not sure if that is the view of Network Rail. If it is, they don't seem to be very pro-active in pursuing that aim.

EDWARD CURWEN in News & Crier said:"Incredibly dangerous” level crossings are being closed by Network Rail, and the 750th to go, in Station Lane, Offord Cluny marks a milestone.
It means 10 per cent of the country’s level crossings have been shut.
But the mother of a teenage girl killed by a train has said Network Rail still has a long way to go.
Tina Hughes, whose 14-year-old daughter was killed as she crossed the tracks at Elsenham in Essex with a friend, said she welcomed news that the company had reached its target of closing 10 per cent of Britain’s level crossings - 750 - since 2010.
The Offord Cluny crossing closed on January 15 this year.
