Balfour Beatty has started constructing the new Clearmount footbridge near M25 Junction 10 in Surrey.
The new steel structure will connect communities between the A3 Ockham Park Junction and Wisley Lane and is part of National Highway’s M25 J10 three-year project (see location on scheme map below).
Assembled offsite, the trestles and steel beams supporting the footbridge were delivered to Buxton Wood near the site last week. Balfour Beatty’s project team will now begin the assembly of the footbridge.
The bridge will be 61m long, 4.3m wide and 2.6m high, weighing in at over 130t.
Once completed, the footbridge will offer safe passage for pedestrians, cyclists and horse-riders over one of the UK’s busiest motorways.
Last month, Balfour Beatty completed installation of a ‘super span’ gantry across the M25 as part of the scheme.
