A timescale has been pencilled out for a new bridge over the River Trent which will connect Lady Bay to the vast £100m Trent Basin waterside housing estate near Colwick. It comes after a consultation inviting public discussion has been launched ahead of plans formally being put forward for the bridge.
Now, the process of putting the plans forward has been delayed with work having been done "behind the scenes". Keith Morgan, of Nottingham City Council Transport Strategy, gave an overview of the development during the Nottingham Local Access Forum meeting held on Wednesday (April 27).
He said: "Probably the best way to describe it is that we have been working with an architect. And we have got a design. We are now in a process where we are talking to potential people to build that bridge. So we are working through all the different logistics, the program and the costs, how we will actually get a bridge into that location. They very positive discussions, and it's something that we are currently working through and as a result of this process, we have delayed putting the planning application in."
