Betrayal of the North: Boris Johnson hits out at PM on HS2City Council said that all the new upgraded footbridges have been designed to ensure they will need less maintenance work in the future. To allow for this work to be completed, commuters have been faced with a weekend of disruption.
“The next phases of work represent transformative changes to the overhead footways for people walking and wheeling – making it easier to get across the gyratory, either going or away from the city centre. I look forward to seeing these new footway structures built and open by the summer next year.” A four-span footbridge with the largest of the spans, stretching 22.6m and weighing around 50 tonnes. Spence Lane footbridge is being removed by one of the world’s most powerful all terrain cranes., with some additional surfacing and lining to take place shortly on partial night-time closures.
