Manchester Road Bridge Begins!…
Bradford Living Street Connect2 Project – Manchester Road Bridge Installation – ARRIVAL OF NEW WALKING & CYCLING BRIDGE!!!
With regards to the above project I am pleased to announce that construction of this new route is ahead of programme and installation of the main parts of the bridge will commence this Friday 11/05/12 evening. The immediate section of Manchester Road will be closed this weekend and next.
Sustran’s was awarded £50 million by the Big Lottery Fund, following a TV vote, to provide new routes for every day walking and cycling journeys across the UK.
The Manchester Road bridge scheme is part of that project, and the new bridge will connect communities in the area and provide links to the city centre and the university.
The site will of course NOT be open be open to the public but you will still be able to get close enough to witness quite a spectical!
There will also be an official launch event on July 15th. More details to follow.
More information will be available on www.bradford.gov.uk/regeneration
Mock up image of what the bridge will look like very soon!
