🌉 New bridge lands in place without a hitch!

On Monday 10 November, our new walking and cycling bridge landed on the banks of the river Trent!

The bridge lift went off without a hitch thanks to our partners Balfour Beatty, Mammoet and Briton Fabricators Ltd, and took just about an hour - and we have a sped up version for you to watch too.

Now, Nottingham’s skyline has a new landmark, however there is still more work to do to install, ramps, steps and walkways and a smaller bridge over Trent Basin as well as to add landscaping and planting around the area. The bridge is set to open in late Spring 2026.

Once completed, the new walking and cycling bridge will form an important part of Nottingham’s active travel network – enabling new connections and routes that will be especially useful for sports fans and those wanting to take advantage of amenities on both sides of the river.

Nottingham's new mobility hubs have launched

We were really pleased to launch six new mobility hubs across Nottingham earlier this month.

The hubs are safe, accessible and highly-visible spaces that bring together multiple transport options in one convenient location.

They are designed to help people switch easily between walking, cycling, public transport and shared mobility services – reducing reliance on private cars and supporting cleaner, greener travel.

The six sites are:

Lambourne Drive, Wollaton
The Dales Central Library in Sneinton
Bulwell station
Winchester Street, in Sherwood
The Bridgeway Centre, in The Meadows
Percy Street, in Old Basford

The hubs have been introduced across Nottingham using funding from the government's Future Transport Zones programme, which is a joint project with Derby City Council.
