How will pedestrians get across the river whilst the Bridge is closed for reconstruction?
The Company intends to provide a temporary footbridge just upstream of the Bridge, and downstream of the lock island. Discussions with land owners and detailed design work are still to be completed, but we are envisaging a step-free bridge supported on floating pontoons linked to the existing approach road pavements on either side of the Bridge. It will be suitable for use by pedestrians, buggies and prams, and pushed bicycles, and will be lit at night.
