A replacement for Preston's Old Tram Bridge linking the city to Penwortham by foot must be built by March 2025
Campaigners who fought to secure a replacement for Preston’s crumbling Old Tram Bridge are calling for a progress report, as the deadline for delivery of the project moves closer. A new cross-river connection between Avenham Park and Penwortham was the flagship scheme in Preston City Council’s successful bid for £20m from the government’s Levelling Up Fund.
In response to a Freedom of Information request to Preston City Council in July, he was told that detailed designs would be worked up over “the next six to 12 months”. But the government cash came with a clause that funded projects must be completed by March 2025 – and Glenn is worried that time is running out.
“We know we don’t have the expertise to get involved in [the technical aspects], but the very least we ask for is an update, because the 2025 deadline is looming,” said Glenn. “Whilst there may not be any visible signs of work at the site yet, we can confirm that work is in progress behind the scenes to ensure this project can be delivered for residents and visitors alike. Preston City Council and Lancashire County Council are working together through the Active Preston Levelling Up Fund Programme to deliver a replacement for the Old Tram Bridge, in partnership with Eric Wright Group, to bring the project to fruition.
