Enthusiast writes about Telford’s favourite bridge
The Happy Pontist is a bridge designer by trade and has reviewed bridges around the world.
What did they think about our bridge?
“It’s a bit like a glass of beer with too much foam left on top.
I do like the commitment to transparency, as covered bridges often give a very enclosed feeling. It lightens the overall impression of the bridge, giving good views for bridge users and I’d think a greater feeling of security as a result.”
Take a look at the blog post here: https://happypontist.blogspot.com/2019/05/telford-station-footbridge.html
…. better than the old one
And look where you’ve ended in another
imagine calling Telford a shithole and following a Telford Facebook page
Cost a fortune
I feel like we have a better bridge, cannot quite remember where though.
Is this the railway bridge ? Yes its pretty and all but they need to take a serious look at the lighting particularly at night
Cost a fortune
At least it ain’t fell down
Honestly couldn’t care for it.
The moment I spotted it and all the glass and lifts I thought to myself “give it a few months and every glass panel will be smashed and the lift vandalised”.
This is telford…you don’t waste money on this dump.
The glass tilting outwards is a really bad design …. especially when you’re driving underneath it and your headlights are reflecting off it towards you. Oh and that purple light, what is that all about?
Mark Woodward this ain’t you is it
The Ironbridge is Telford’s favourite bridge.
This is just a designers dream.
Over engineered. Does not keep you dry in the rain as there is a gap in the roof
It floods easily by the lift near the steps, it has a ramp for easy accessibility that ends up at a blind right hand turn into the small bottle neck at the busiest part of the bridge. Looks nice but poorly designed
