final designs delay start of Cygnet Bridge project in Peterborough

Peterborough’s £8.3m Cygnet Bridge linking Fletton Quays to the Embankment faces delays as council officers review final designs. The cost has risen from an initial £6.3m due to design changes and complex sewer diversion requirements.

The bridge aims to support a more walkable, liveable city while easing pressure on central traffic routes.
