The Old Tram Bridge will finally be replaced after Preston City Council landed £20m from the Levelling Up fund

Campaign group Friends of the Old Tramroad Bridge celebrated the news after four years of working to save the river crossing.Glenn said: “I truly believe that this result has been driven and led by the people of Preston.

The new cycle/footbridge over the River Ribble will be one of a number of transport-related improvements designed to make the city greener and safer. Improvements at the Grade II listed Moor Park will include lake restoration, bridge works and new visitor facilities. “We understand the strong feeling around the tram bridge and are delighted that it will finally be resolved, which is very positive.

“Improving the health and wellbeing of our communities is at the heart of our agenda and these projects will help us achieve that, as well as inspiring a sense of local pride and investing in areas that need it.”
