BARNSLEY TOWN CENTRE – MARKET GATE BRIDGE

Published 31 October 2022 at 4:37pm

This will see the construction of a new pedestrian bridge over the main Sheffield to Leeds railway line, also supported and part funded by Network Rail. The bridge will link existing public transport and parking provisions to the new retail and leisure quarter. It will provide a safe accessible route over the railway line for pedestrians and cyclists, also enabling the permanent closure of the existing Jumble Lane rail crossing. Work has started to build the bridge and it is due to be completed in October 2023.

Funding Allocation: Get Building Fund - £2m, Transforming Cities Fund - £2.8m
