Our Scope
The bridge, which also crosses a river and is adjacent to ancient barrows, is part of the Borough’s strategic plans to improve mobility and boost travel to and from the university, by pedestrians and cyclists.
Objectives:
- Improve the user’s experience for pedestrian, restricted mobility users and cyclists
- Improve the security on the bridge and in the immediate vicinity
- Comply with current guidance and legislation including Equality Act 2010
- Ensure the proposals are acceptable to the stakeholders, comprising Network Rail, Environment Agency and University of Essex
We were able to present 3 main options; repair, refurbish/remodel and replacement, with each option broken down into sub-options. We delivered a professional and bespoke response to the client’s original brief with great success, with the client delighted with the initial stage outcome.
