Shoreham's new footbridge on course for summer opening
7:10pm Thursday 7th February 2013 in News
Work progresses on the new Shoreham footbridge
A new footbridge is on course to open this summer.
In October the original Shoreham footbridge was closed over safety fears.
Before Christmas workers installed steel beams to support the concrete deck on either side of the new structure.
Over the next few months workers will install more small sections of concrete designed to gradually load the steel beams with weight.
Funding for the £9.8 million project has come from both West Sussex County Council and sustainable transport charity Sustrans.
The new bridge can be used by both pedestrians and cyclists.

More good news. Just need decent bike lane from Portslade to shoreham and there will be a reasonable route from shoreham harbour all the way to stanmer park.
