Work was due to start on the new pedestrian and cycle bridge this summer but it's been hit by delays
The construction of the first new bridge over the River Trent in 60 years is now expected to begin “early 2025”, Nottingham City Council says. The pedestrian and cycle bridge will link Trent Basin, off Daleside Road in the city, to the south bank of the river close to the Hook nature reserve in Lady Bay, in Rushcliffe borough.
Work was previously due to start this summer. But a city council spokeswoman confirmed on Tuesday that while some initial works have started, including the finalising of land agreements and detailed ground surveys, actual work won’t begin until 2025. “Work is happening now including land agreements, detailed ground surveys and discussions with those who will be impacted by the works, with a physical ground-breaking at the site expected in early 2025 following the expected executive board approval this autumn.”
Alongside the new bridge, the pedestrian and cycle pathways are expected to be improved on the north side of the river. The 87-metre bridge, which was increased in width to four metres following a public consultation, is expected to open at the end of 2025.
