A walking and cycling bridge over the River Severn will create a new map of the city for people living on either side of the river, whilst also opening up a circular riverside walk with views of the cathedral. As this crossing will focus attention on the south western quadrant of the city, it will also be fundamental in tackling the long-sought connection to Powick by either avoiding the bypass roundabout or ensuring proper signalised crossings are installed.

How will the local community benefit?

A selection of comments received from the pledges:

"Living in St Johns it will give a much improved access to the city away from the busy southern link and city bridge."

“Cycling in Worcester is restricted by inadequate river crossings.”

“I think this is a really good idea, to have a pedestrian/cycling link across the river at a point where there is to be much riverside development. In particular, this should be a good incentive to encourage people to walk or cycle to and from new residential and cafe/restaurant areas, and generally promote the idea of building sustainable transport networks into to development.”

“Given the beautiful countryside in Worcestershire, I am surprised and disappointed by the current provision for safe cycle routes.”
