New $3 million footbridge design for Christchurch's Avon River confirmed

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Designs for a new footbridge over Christchurch's Avon River will not have the flair of a now-abandoned "art bridge" proposed for the site.

Crown rebuild company Ōtākaro will manage the build of the 32-metre bridge that runs between Cambridge and Oxford terraces, near the Margaret Mahy playground.

The bridge replaces a proposal for a $5.92m "art bridge" for the site. Ōtākaro previously ran a competition calling for professionals to enter design ideas for the bridge, which received 13 entries.
