Knight Architects bags Cheshire aqueduct job - as Mersey Gateway Bridge opens

摘要

Mersey Gateway Bridge has opened to the public six years after the government stumped up for the stalled £600m crossing. One of the UK's largest civil engineering and infrastructure projects, the 1km-long cable-stay bridge was conceived by Ramboll, CH2M and Knight Architects. It links the towns of Widnes and Runcorn in the north west of England and will relieve congestion on the existing Silver Jubilee Bridge, which will be reconfigured for local use. Part of a 9.5km-long highway corridor project, it will improve access between Merseyside and North Wales and Cheshire.
