And you posted a pic of some random bridge because....?

It's far from random. It's the original template for the bridge linking the academy to the stadium (one of architect Raphael Vinoly's earlier projectc in the Parrs Wood Quarter of the City).

What the F**K is the Parrs Wood Quarter of the City!!!!

Its Parrs Wood. End of. Its not a quarter. And its not in the City either.

And that bridge has been there as long as I can ever remember - so at least 30 years

swoosh!

Rumour has it that city and bam have fell out a bit. Laing orourke now in pole position to get a lot of the future work.

Well that new bridge is rubbish - you need ladders to get on and off it at each end. I think it's dangerous.

Some here in JRB's thread on SkyScraper City bottom of page 3 and someone's coloured the spans sky blue on page 4 Looks better IMHO

It certainly looks better in the coloured format on page 4, the pic's of the area make it look very washed out

I went and had a quick look today. Certainly nothing to get excited about. A functional concrete walkway.

Yeah I know.

Its all the hype on here and the stuff in the planning app "iconic" etc etc.

I was expecting something spectacular. Maybe the purse strings are being tightened somewhat.

No point in an iconic bridge, nobody would come from far and wide to see the new mcfc pedestrian bridge over Turing way, however flash. They will however be drawn to the marvels either side. Money I suspect is not the issue, but still Khaldoon and co wont spend just for the hell of it.

I'd still of preferred a log flume though.
