A new walking and cycling bridge over the River Trent near Colwick will officially open to the public in June.
After a ribbon cutting ceremony where children from local schools will join Councillors and other officials to declare the crossing open, the bridge will be open for the public to cross for the first time, along with the new bridge over Trent Basin.
The newly widened and surfaced riverside footpath on the south side of the river will open for use on June 2.
To celebrate the opening of the bridge, there will also be a free community fun day on Sunday, June 14, 2026, with activities and stalls on both the north and south banks of the river, including food and drink, community performances, free activities for children and adults including crafts, face painting and games and a focus on STEM (science technology, engineering and maths) and sports activities.
Work has been continuing with preparations to open the new bridge later this summer.
Upgrades to the riverside path have been taking place,with the top surface still to go on. It will re-open at the same time as the new bridge opens.
Amphitheatre (the spiral/ shell shaped section approaching the bridge with built in seating and planting) works are continuing.
The southside ramps and stairs are now in place after being delivered last month.
