Public Consulted On New Ormeau Lagan Footbridge

The Department for Regional Development is seeking for the public's view on proposals for a new pedestrian cycle bridge across the River Lagan between the Gasworks and Ormeau Park in Belfast.

The aim of the scheme is to improve accessibility to Ormeau Park, the Gasworks, city centre and Central Station for local communities and commuters.

It will also improve access for local communities to leisure facilities, places of employment, schools, colleges, pubs, restaurants and shops.

The various options for the bridge's design can be viewed on the Department's web page.
