Consultation on an exciting scheme that will see a new pedestrian and cycle crossing build over the River Trent has opened today.
The new Waterside Bridge, funded through the Government?s Transforming Cities Fund, will offer a huge boost to the routes available for cyclists, pedestrians and runners, providing a quieter, safer option for commuter and leisure trips between the Waterside regeneration area on the north bank and Lady Bay on the south.
The need for a bridge was identified in the City Council?s Waterside Supplementary Planning Document in 2019. The council secured ?9.25m from the Government?s Transforming Cities programme to invest in local transport infrastructure that will improve sustainable transport, support growth, and encourage more low carbon journeys.
The project is being led by Nottingham City Council, working in partnership with Rushcliffe Borough Council and in consultation with Nottinghamshire County Council.
The consultation closes at midnight on Sunday 28?November.
