New Railway Bridge Nearing Completion

The new railway bridge funded as part of the Sustrans initiative is fast approaching completion. The contractors have been pulling out all tyhe stops to get it ready for the grand opening in November.
It is indeed very pretty bridge with easy access for pedestrians and cyclists alike. Wheelchair users and parents with prams will now be able to gain access much more easily than before.
The residents of the houses on the other side of the park wishing to walk to the town will have greatly improved; across park, over the bridge and straight up mainstreet. Likewise those from the town side wanting to walk up to the Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre will be able to stroll uninterupted without the need to go near the main road.
The only thing is, it may be a bit glitzy and out of keeping with the rest of the town! No doubt with time it will fit in perfectly. In fact it may lead to the rest of the town getting a bit of a scrub up; the main street is looking a wee bit tired at the moment.
Here are some snaps of the work in progress....
