Bosses say it is a 'key piece' the Bee Network
A new ramp connecting Stockport 's newest park to the River Mersey opens today . The spiral ramp runs from Viaduct Park on the roof of the new Stockport Interchange, to the bus station's ground floor with paths then leading into the town centre.
Local council and transport chiefs say it will allow a 'seamless connection' from the trail up to the new park, and the train station, where a walking and cycling path leads via a bridge over Daw Bank.It forms part of a planned long-distance cycling route connecting the train station to areas to the southwest of Stockport, the town centre, and beyond.
Paul Richards, Director of Development and Regeneration at Stockport Council, said: “This is the next step of our fantastic Interchange development and we’re thrilled it’s open in time to play an important part in our annual Stockport Moves event at our brand-new Viaduct Park and Merseyway.” “It is a key piece of the Bee Network, joining up journeys made by walking, wheeling and cycling with buses and trains, while also opening up leisure opportunities in the town centre and beyond.”
