Nottingham City Council has submitted a planning application for Waterside Bridge ? a new pedestrian and cyclist crossing over the?River Trent.?
Spades will be in the ground this summer and the bridge is expected to be completed by late 2025.?
The new bridge, the first over the Trent since Clifton Bridge was built 60 years ago, will create links between the expanding Waterside regeneration area, Colwick Park on the north bank, and the Lady Bay and West Bridgford areas to the south.?
By enhancing connections between communities, green spaces and riverside paths, the proposed scheme will make it easier for people living and working in Nottingham?to travel in a more sustainable way.??
The Waterside Bridge project is being delivered using grant funding secured from Central Government through the Transforming Cities programme.?

Some exciting news for the Broad Marsh regeneration development this week as plans were unveiled for a new state-of-the-art Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) on the site.
It will be run and staffed by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and will help reduce the backlog of patients waiting for diagnostic tests.
CDCs are a one-stop-shop to support GPs by providing services such as MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, echocardiography, ECG, and lung function testing. This allows for more rapid diagnosis of conditions such as cancer.
When the CDC opens in spring next year, it will provide an additional 100,000 diagnostic appointments each year. Once at full capacity, it will provide more than 140,000 appointments annually, which will be available to patients through hospital consultants initially, and eventually also via GPs.
Following the opening of the new Central Library and with work under way on the new Green Heart city centre park, we?re really pleased to work with Nottingham University Hospitals as they deliver this fantastic new health facility on the Broad Marsh site.
