People say there aren't any negatives
Plans could see a 100-year-old bridge in Long Eaton, which is nearing end of life, replaced with a brand new pedestrian bridge. As part of the £25m Long Eaton Town Deal, Erewash Borough Council has put forward plans to replace the pedestrian bridge over the Erewash canal that links Broad Street and West Park.
With a width of 1.72m, the bridge is narrower than current design standards. The ramp gradients are also too steep, and this can cause some people with reduced mobility some issues when trying to cross the bridge. He said: “I think it would be good. It’s getting old. With how solid it is and the corrosion of the iron work you wonder what is holding it up. It's the right thing to do. You’ve got to accept the fact it’s getting too old. It’s expensive but it’s got to be done. If they don’t build it and they have to replace it - they may as well improve it.”
