Rotherhithe Bridge costs

摘要

A value engineering exercise carried out by Atkins suggested design changes to shave as much as S135M off the final cost of Transport for London's (TfL's) scrapped Rotherhithe Crossing, New Civil Engineer can reveal. Obtained via a Freedom of Information request, the value engineering report from October 2018 suggests massive cost savings could have been achieved by changing the bridge's alignment, using concrete instead of steel for the bridge's towers and reducing the width of the bridge deck.
