This is great news for making the trail a safer journey through this area. Getting cyclists, joggers, walkers and especially children off the shoulder of the Western Bridge will be a relief. The County, the BCC et al are to be commended for getting funding for this project. Surely we all can put up with a little construction inconvenience for a much greater degree of safety at this crossing.

Does anybody know what the bridges will look like? More of the same ?

Whatever they look like I'm sure they will have a beautiful lake view too.

Dalton Brothers, a small time home builder.

How they were awarded that I will never know.
But it was obviously too much for them
