This feedback from the stage 2 consultation has been used to inform the stage 3 Developed Design. ![]() The greatest issue arising from the consultation related to combined pedestrian and cycle use, with a number of respondents stating that pedestrian and cycle use should be segregated, due to safety concerns about collisions. Lower Hatea Bridge in Whangarei, New Zealand (photo by Patrick Reynolds) The design and appearance of the bridge was identified as a high priority for respondents, with the Denmark example (Butterfly Bridge, Copenhagen) being the most preferred example of good bridge design, closely followed by the New Zealand example (Lower Hatea Crossing, Whangarei). The feedback from the consultation shows strong support for the bridge with 96 per cent of respondents saying they are in favour of the bridge and would use the bridge once it is delivered. We received 172 responses to the consultation, including feedback from the consultation events and from meetings with stakeholders. The South Dock Bridge public consultation on the stage 2 conceptual design took place from 12 February to 23 March 2018. The new bridge will also help reduce congestion on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR). It will be wheelchair accessible and cater for all potential users.Īerial view of the area with bridge alignment shown in redīridge location, view from south to north quay Stage 2: Design and consultation results It will shorten walking times to the Elizabeth line station and other public transport links, as well as improving access to jobs, retail and other town centre services at Canary Wharf. It will be designed to accommodate projected pedestrian flows well into the future. The bridge will link new development at South Quay with Canary Wharf and Wood Wharf. The new footbridge is likely to become one of the busiest pedestrian bridges in London. There is therefore the need to provide for a new crossing to accommodate the predicted increase in pedestrian traffic. The existing bridge (known as the Wilkinson Eyre Bridge) is approaching its capacity at peak times in terms of comfort levels. The new Elizabeth line station (Crossrail) will attract more pedestrians from the area and there is a need to improve access to South Quay DLR station. Significant new developments on the Isle of Dogs will generate crossing demand. Why do we need a new bridge over South Dock The following sections give more details on the work carried out to date for each stage.
