the competition seeks the best designers and ideas for a new bridge to link a new industrial and residential area with an existing woodland park. situated on the main route between the m1 and sheffield city centre, the bridge will become a point of reference for everyone using that route. with a life of at least 50 years it is hoped it will win a place in local affection and be a part of a positive shared memory of the city and the region. the bridge is to be procured in partnership with rotherham borough council and yorkshire forward.
there is a strong desire between sheffield and rotherham councils that the bridge be of landmark status and present a significant gateway to the cities. the bridge will provide an ideal opportunity to improve the transport network as a whole for all users in the area. it will have a significant architectural prominence in an otherwise predominantly motorway type environment. as a feature, the bridge is expected to assist greatly in the marketing efforts of the surrounding areas as development opportunities. competition web site : http://www.architecture.com/useanarchitect/findanarchitect/competitions/competitions.aspx email cmpetition : [email protected]
