hopefully the proposed footbridge in the city plan from the Springfield Quay to the former dock of the Waverley will also be of sufficient height to allow similar travel. If this does go ahead they could do worse than call it the Waverley Bridge as the steamer berthed there for so many years.

Maybe a daft question, is this new bridge going to be open to all ? Will it not be swamped with cars ?
I'm glad there's another road crossing, but it just seems so narrow.
Apparently there will be 4 lanes on the road, 2 of which will be for buses/taxis/cycles
only. We'll see.

If you need to get across the river at this point, you could use the King George V Bridge, 100 metres further along."
