Welcome to your September update on our project to build a new walking and cycling bridge between Trent Basin and Lady Bay.

On the north bank of the river, the bridge structure has arrived on site fresh from the painters and is now being assembled and checked. Reinforced concrete works to the bridge abutments and foundations for the amphitheatre is progressing well.

Next, the concreting works to the bridge will be completed, with reinforced concrete works to the ramps continuing. Works assembling the bridge will continue with the sections being welded together, the deck completed and other finishing works.

On the south bank, a sheet piling wall has been installed parallel to the waters edge and concrete piles have been installed ahead of reinforced concrete works to the bridge starting next month.

Next on the south bank, reinforced concrete works to the bridge abutments and ramp foundations will begin.

We’re getting closer to the completed bridge being be lifted into place on its supports by a huge crane this November!
