The new bridge over the Regent’s Canal is progressing well.
The bridge connects the primary north-south traffic route for vehicles and pedestrians and, in addition to carrying full highway loads, the bridge will be the main services conduit between the north and south areas of the development. It carries six large diameter service pipes and a plethora of ducts for data and communication cables.
The simple, elegant geometry of the bridge is enhanced by a gentle vertical curve, echoing the forms traditionally found in canal bridges.
At night, the underside of the bridge will be uplit providing a uniform wash of light to the walls and the bridge soffit.
