Work on new Infinity Park bridge complete

Derby City Council has announced that work on a new multi-use bridge serving Infinity Park Derby has been completed.

The bridge over Cuttle Brook, close to Infinity Park Way, is part of the Local Growth Fund programme of works, with the aim of improving sustainable transport routes to Infinity Park Derby.

The new bridge is 3.5 metres wide and will provide a significant improvement to National Cycle Network Route 6, the multi-use cycle path that runs between Derby city centre and Swarkestone.

The scheme began on 28 June and involved the removal of an existing narrow bridge over Cuttle Brook.

Councillor Ross McCristal, who officially opened the new bridge, said: “The old bridge was regularly requiring patch works and was no longer suitable for users.

“I’m delighted with this new modern and fit for purpose multi-use bridge for pedestrians, cyclists and now horse riders too.”
