This is your monthly Bridge Bulletin, bringing you the latest news and info on our project to build a new walking and cycling bridge over the river Trent at Trent Basin and Lady Bay.

• The warehouse that used to house Flo Skatepark has now been demolished – making the space needed to assemble the massive bridge and for a crane to lift it into place this autumn

• Thank you for your patience while the path between the river and playparks at the Hook, Holme Road, Lady Bay, was closed. The path has now been transformed from rocky and muddy to smooth and flat tarmac. It will be much better for all users, but especially those using a scooter, bike, wheelchair or pushchair and will form a key part of our diversion while the riverside path is closed.

• The path along the riverside between Lady Bay Bridge and where it meets the path to the playpark, shown in red below, will be closed from 5 May until spring 2026 when the bridge opens. We apologise both for the inconvenience and length of closure which is necessary while we build and lift the bridge into place, as well as making improvements to this footpath. Pedestrian and bike diversion routes are shown below.
