Has anybody else noticed that the drawings show the bridge with a slight gradient? its 1 in 86 so its rising from what you can see now to a higher level when it reaches the south...been down to see it this morning I think its clear to see its on the rise

That video shows how well placed the Stables are, you practically walk off the bridge straight into them. I'm not sure how wide the bridge is going to be from that, but hopefully it's broader than it looks from that distance.

What are they going to do to stop the little tosspots on motorbikes flying across it all the time?

10 meters wide.

A good width for a pedestrian bridge.

The image they have used is what that area will look like once plans are complete.

You can see the new vaux bridge and sheepfolds housing is complete on there too.

 

[Barista]

It’s going to be ideal for Sheepfolds isn’t it, drops you off at the entrance!

To make it even easier, and as we’re not getting the fabled monorail, they should install those moving walkways that they have at airports onto the new bridge.

 

[yamar1]

No longer working on Maker Faber buildings now so going to miss a lot of the work on the bridge.

Il Still be over now and again for some pics and footage though.
