The Lagan weir footbridge, Belfast (2)
The present footbridge, across the Lagan weir J3474 : The Lagan Weir, Belfast, looking towards Queen’s Quay. The proposal suggests “Widening the pedestrian bridge over the weir . . . . . a cycle route could be added by providing a 5m wide bridge surface”. The existing width can be judged by using the two figures (background) for scale. Cycling across the bridge is officially prohibited J3474 : The Lagan footbridge, Belfast (2) but is common.
Queen's Quay redevelopment proposals, Belfast
The Department for Social Development (DSD) published a “Draft Masterplan”, in mid-December 2011, showing proposals for the redevelopment of Queen’s Quay and part of the surrounding area. The proposals envisage changing the area dramatically. They include provision for residential, recreational and tourist use. At present (January 2012) it forms an undeveloped space between Donegall Quay/The Obel Tower and the Titanic Quarter. Queen’s Quay was previously the quay where coal was imported and scrap metal exported for recycling.
The photographs submitted by me appear as a matter of geographical and historical record only. I have no connection with the DSD and have no opinions about (for or against) the proposals.
They (or any scheme which might emerge from the consultation) are likely to take many years to complete.
