Topic: Brentford Bridge

The wheels have been set in motion and a team is now exploring funding options. Here is the summary:

''Connecting Brentford with Kew, the bridge is located in London’s longest stretch between Thames bridges, benefitting connections to neighbouring areas.
Timber construction and landscaping minimise ecological impact and enhance the unique riverside landscape. The bridge should become a destination in its own right with its amazing views of the unspoilt Thames shoreline. Public facilities are proposed at both landings with a shop and pier in Brentford and a new entrance to Kew Gardens.
Located on the site of an old ferry crossing, the bridge will create connectivity to the new western cycle superhighway and the Capital Ring walking route, benefitting north-south and east-west links. It would invigorate the junction with the Grand Union Canal and create a physical link between Kew and Syon Park green spaces.
The bridge intervention and pier help to reinstate Brentford’s historic relationship with the river and relates to the urban grain of the riverside. It will be a catalyst in the dramatic Brentford regeneration where 5000 dwellings and hotels are being constructed. It provides a connection to the Great West Road hub where 15,000 people are employed. The improved connection would benefit Brentford’s cultural attractions and raise the profile of this historic yet isolated town centre.''
