Salford Meadows Bridge Delay
Funding + Delay for Salford Meadows Bridge
Design: Tonkin Liu / Arup
Architecture competition-winning proposals by Tonkin Liu for a new footbridge in Salford delayed due to a lack of funds, reports the Architect?s Journal.
However, a planning application for this River Irwell crossing will not progress until further funds are received.
Some initial Section 106 funds have been secured by Salford City Council.
The design competition attracted 172 submissions from 31 countries.
Cezary Bednarski criticised the architecture contest as a ?waste of effort and money?, and an ?example of how not? to run a contest in 2013. 23 + 22 Jan 2014
