Hi John,
I'm a volunteer with a Resident's Association in West Bridgford, Nottingham and we need a ballpark estimate on the widening of a walkway on a local bridge. The bridge is Lady Bay Bridge which spans the river Trent.
The walkway is 2m and 96m long. It needs to be widened by 500mm to allow pedestrians and cyclists to pass comfortably. The Council's solution is to build a new “iconic” pedestrian cycle bridge 500m downstream in a less convenient location. This is estimated to cost £5 million and will probably never happen ( at least in our lifetimes!). We want to investigate a cheaper option of widening the existing cantilever walkway which the Council is currently refusing to consider.
We have been told that extenders can be attached to the underpinning cantilever beams, subject to stiffening the beams’ root connections. I can provide photos as required.
Is this something you might be able to advise us on?
