Abutments remain but these are not to be utilised in the design, though the effect of their possible removal must be considered by the designer. The feasibility report has recommended a 35m span steel bridge on abutments independent and not reliant on the existing abutments. The contractor is to design and build a 35m span steel cycleway bridge in accordance with the current Design Manual for Roads and Bridges and the Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works as published by DfT.
