Preston’s ‘new’ Old Tram Bridge will sit at a higher level than the crumbling one it is set to replace, it has emerged.
The design detail was revealed at a Lancashire County Council meeting where the authority agreed to take on responsibility for maintaining the surface of the new structure. The exact difference in height was not set out, but the new arrangement will require ramped access points. However, the Lancashire Post understands it will not represent a significant change to the current level.
Under the new agreement, the city council will be responsible for everything but the surface, which will become a bridleway - and so open to horses, as well as pedestrians and cyclists - that is “maintainable at public expense”.
