Start Date Announced for Castleford BridgeWork on the distinctive new bridge over the River Aire - one of the centerpieces of the Castleford Project - will begin in spring.
And the S shaped bridge - designed by McDowell Benedetti - should be complete and in use by December.
The £4.8 million project is funded by Wakefield Council (£1.4m), Yorkshire Forward (£1.4m) and English Partnerships (£2m).
Costain Ltd has been appointed to design and construct the bridge.
Cllr Peter Box, the leader of Wakefield Council, said: "This is real progress on one of the landmark schemes in the Castleford Project, and I am pleased that we now have a start date for the construction.
The bridge we will get delivers the original design concept created by Renato."
Rob Pearson, English Partnership's Area Director for Yorkshire, said: "This announcement is excellent news; the bridge means that new and existing homes in Castleford will be linked to the town centre in a sustainable way and it complements totally the significant investments we are already making in the former coalfield sites that surround the town."
Bill Lomas, Regional Manager for Costain Limited said: "Costain is pleased to be associated with such a prestigious project and this reinforces our commitment to the area where our Yorkshire Water business office has been located for over six years.
