Award of the contract will be discussed by councillors next week. The contract to design and build the footbridge over the railway at Seabraes is recommended to go to Morgan Sindall.



Will Dawson, convener of Dundee City Council’s city development committee said: “I am sure that the stunning design and strategic location of the new bridge will soon make it a city landmark. Thanks to the new bridge pedestrians and cyclists will get easy access from one of the main arteries of Dundee to the heart of the waterfront.”



Planning permission has already been granted and work is expected to start on site in autumn with a completion date in spring  next year.
