Video shows how Peterborough's new Cygnet Bridge will look once it arrives

New pedestrian river crossing will change the face of Fletton Quays

Anyone who has walked across Town Bridge recently will have had their eye drawn to the worksite alongside the Nene between Fletton Quays and the Embankment, where construction of the Cygnet Bridge is now moving ahead at pace.

With activity and resource continuing to build on both banks of the river, some observers can perhaps begin to imagine a better idea of what the final crossing point will look like.

However, those who remain none the wiser can always make use of the above video, which gives a visual rendering as to how and where the bridge will sit once it opens, which should be in May, 2027.

It is envisioned that the ambitious £8.3m project will offer pedestrians and cyclists more convenient access between the residential developments, businesses and football stadium on the south of the river to the city centre and North Embankment.
