Work underway ahead of arrival of new Radford Road Bridge
Work is set to begin next week in preparation for the delivery of the new pedestrian and cycle bridge linking Radford Road and Newbold Comyn later this year.
Starting on 16 September a team of contractors will be undertaking piling works on site ahead of the construction of new bridge abutments. It is expected that the new bridge will be craned in during November, following which the team will set about completing the new footpaths and landscaping works.
Councillor Will Roberts, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhood Services commented:
“After a very long and complicated applications process, I am now delighted to say that it’s full steam ahead for local residents to get this vital access point reinstated.”
“Having seen the new designs I am confident in saying that it will have been worth the wait with people living, working and going to school in the surrounding area benefitting from a much-improved wider bridge suitable for both pedestrians and cyclists.”
