About

Background: The existing Aston Court Overbridge is not long enough to allow High Speed 2 to pass underneath. As part of the project, it will be demolished and replaced with a new structure.

Planning: The initial design for the bridge was revealed to the public in 2021. A revised design was released in November 2022 with a wider walkway and altered lighting. The bridge was given planning permission in September 2023.

Construction: Preparatory works began in 2022. The bridge was constructed in advance. On 14 August 2024 it was moved into place.
