£1.5m Birstall Footbridge Officially Opened

15 January 2019

A new £1.5m footbridge across the A6 dual carriageway in Birstall, Leicester, is now officially open to the public.

The 50 metre footbridge spans from the Hallam Fields estate to the Birstall Park & Ride site, with a new combined footway and cycleway providing an onward link to Cedars Academy.

William Saunders provided Civil Engineering Services for this important scheme that provides a safer route for schoolchildren to walk to school as well as easier access to the Park and Ride services.
