York's newest river bridge by if1

York's newest river bridge

105 - Slightly further downstream from yesterdays shot is the newest river bridge in York, a cycle / foot bridge linking Navigation Road with the major redevelopment area of Hungate.

It forms a significant link in York's growing network of cycle routes and helps keep both cyclists and pedestrians away from busy roads. New student accommodation has recently been opened to the right of this shot, and new apartment blocks are under development to the right.

UPDATE - I've just realised that the chimney from yesterday is visible above the apartment block on the left.
Well blow me down, I was not even aware of this new bridge, must make a visit -----thanks, Ian.

Very interesting to see a new bridge and good to see that cyclists are being catered for.

Not sure when it opened, but it was quite recently.

This useful link means that it's possible to avoid the very busy traffic on Foss Islands Road, part of the inner ring road, so it's a great improvement for all.

Thank you Brian. It's a simple functional structure that has a certain beauty to it.
