Earlier today saw the safe delivery of a new pedestrian and cycle bridge linking Radford Road and the Newbold Comyn country park and nature reserve.
Having been constructed off-site the new 3.5-metre-wide bridge was transported to Leamington by road and then carefully slotted into place by crane, between the newly created abutments.
Warwick District Council contractors will now complete the new footpaths and landscaping works with the bridge expected to be opened to the public before Christmas.
Councillor Will Roberts, Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhood Services commented: “Following a very long, complicated and technically challenging journey, we are absolutely delighted to see the arrival of a much-improved bridge, allowing us to finally re-instate this important access point for pedestrians and cyclists.
“We are very much looking forward to opening it to local residents at the earliest opportunity.”
