Work Finally Begins On New Railway Footbridge
Written by HFM News on 10th September 2018
Network Rail have finally begun work today to build a long-awaited footbridge over the railway in Little Bowden.
The bridge – which should be up by the middle of December – will link Glebe Road with Braybrooke Road, and replace a pedestrian crossing over the tracks, which was shut in 2015, after being deemed a safety risk.
Harborough MP Neil O’Brien has been pushing for action over the past few months.
He said: “I have been chasing the Department for Transport to get on with building this bridge.
“It caused a lot of inconvenience when the pedestrian crossing was closed, so I’m sure people locally will be pleased with this news.”
