Construction contract available for Olympic Park footbridge
3 December 2007
The search has begun to find a construction company to build a footbridge in the heart of the Olympic Park.
During the Games the 30m bridge will span the River Lea, giving pedestrians easy access between the Olympic Stadium and the Aquatics Centre.
When the Games are over, demountable parts of the bridge will be taken away to leave two separate bridges each measuring 6.5 metres, spanning either side of Carpenters Lock.
The central park footbridge construction contract is expected to be awarded in late 2008 with work due to start on site in 2009.
