Construct a new bridge to the east side of the existing
bridge and to realign Norton Road to the east. The proposed bridge is 40 m long and will carry two-way
traffic on a 7.3 m wide carriageway with a 2 m wide footway on the west side. There is 2 m minimum

• Provide a two-way general traffic lane.
• Remove the existing road to the north of York’s Bridge and create a new footpath.
• Retain the existing York’s Bridge and road to the south as an access road for The Fingerpost public
house and residential properties located along the canal side.
• Provide parking bays to the south of the public house to facilitate access to the common.
• Create a pond and several new embankments north of the new bridge.
• Resurface the existing carriageway along to Moat Farm Way (located south-east of the existing
bridge) and vehicle track used to access the fields (located north-east of the existing bridge).
• Enhance public realm & safe access to the common.
• Make York’s Bridge a more pleasant, well-designed environment.
