Construction work on the new Charmouth footbridge we designed with engineers from Dorset County Council has begun. Below are images of the first elements - piles are in place, and work on the abutments is underway. The steel frame should be delivered to site in the next couple of weeks and if all goes to plan it should be open for the easter holidays.
The old bridge (the one which needs replacing) is still in place and usable so you can get a good look at how things are progressing with the new one.

Hello Sans Facon, dying to see your designs for Charmouth Bridge - are they posted somewhere?
Hi Suzanne, no design published yet but the framework should be on site in the next weeks, so watch this space
