Galliford Try Construction Central has undertaken a groundbreaking project for English Partnerships in Milton Keynes - the construction of a £1.8 m, 40 m wide, cable stayed suspension bridge across the Broughton Brook.
The bridge is founded on 17 m 600 mm diameter CFA piles, 20 to each of the abutments and centre pier, which in turn are constructed of reinforced concrete with an exposed aggregate finish to provide a further visual attraction.
The bridge is constructed of steel with a composite concrete/steel deck forming the rest of the structure.
The aim is to provide a landmark feature in the centre of the Broughton area and provide a vital link to two areas of land which are currently undergoing extensive development work as part of the Government’s ‘Commission for New Towns’ initiative. Construction work started in late March 2004 with completion due for early November 2004.
