Shared description
Wilford Suspension Bridge
This was built in 1908 by Nottingham Corporation Water Department in the first instance to carry a water pipeline across the River Trent to Wilford Hill Reservoir, but the opportunity was taken to incorporate a pedestrian facility as well. The bridge still belongs to the water authority (in 2010 Severn Trent Water), and use by pedestrians and cyclists is still only permissive; it is not a right of way. It is Listed Grade II.
The following link shows the bridge during its period of closure and repair between 2008 and 2010, a project which cost £1.9m. Link
