Chiswick Park Footbridge is a pedestrian bridge north of Gunnersbury Triangle Nature Reserve in Chiswick, London that connects Chiswick Business Park with Chiswick Park tube station, crossing a railway line and the adjacent car park.

Construction

[edit]

The bridge was designed by London-based companies Expedition Engineering and Useful Studios. It has three spans of Corten steel, which weathers to a rust-orange colour, requiring no painting. The walking surface is made of hardwood, and the balustrade is of stainless steel.[2] It was constructed by Lendlease and cost seven million pounds.[3] It opened on 24 January 2019.[4] The bridge won in the best infrastructure category in the 2019 AJ Architecture Awards.[5]
