Monksdale First Light - by Mark Annand - www.twotunnels.org.uk

The new bridge opened quietly on the afternoon of Thursday 5th April. This fantastic photo shows members of the community using the bridge in the morning light on Friday.

Will said: “The Two Tunnels project, Sustrans and the contractor; Hydrok have done a grand job for us. This is a great enhancement for the much loved Linear Park.

I’m pleased to see that there has been a massive amount of tree planting and even some semi-mature trees have been planted to help screen the closest properties.

It doesn’t quite beat Beechen Cliff, but there’s a great view over Oldfield Park and into the City and Lansdown from the bridge.”
