Plans to begin operating a £1m pedestrian swing bridge in Fleetwood are now close to fruition - after a delay of almost two months.

The 27 metre-long bridge was transported by lorry from Barnsley to Redrow’s Harbour Village development in Fleetwood back in June with a view to being operational by July.

Although the bridge will link residents on the Harbour Village estate to Freeport village and the rest of the town, it is not exclusively for the use of the residents and represents key infrastructure improvement for the whole of that area.
