Over the last week, sections of Nottingham’s brand new walking and cycling bridge have been arriving back in the city under police escort.
They’d been on a trip to a specialist paint yard to be transformed into a new off-white colour – before arriving to the riverside ready to be assembled and thoroughly checked.
The bridge will be take shape along the River Trent before being lifted into place by a giant crane during November.
Transport Nottingham provided this update as work continues on the new Waterside Bridge in West Bridgford and Nottingham as part of the Transforming Cities project.
Recent progress includes:
Ongoing piling works to create the foundations for the bridge structure and ramps.
Installation of a temporary sheet pile along the riverbank to secure the edge during construction.
Construction of a platform to support the crane that will lift the bridge into place this November.
