Trinity Footbridge

Manchester

IN SHORT

This bridge, a joint project by Phoenix Initiative and the City of Salford, marks the first phase of the development of Chapel Wharf in the former docklands. The Chapel Street area, identified for commercial redevelopment, forms a natural extension to the Manchester Regional Centre. The footbridge, a symbolic gesture over the Irwell, is the first pedestrian crossing of the river and links the adjoining cities of Salford and Manchester. Financed by the Department of the Environment, Salford City, Chapel Wharf, and the European Regional Development Fund, the bridge will open this area to a car-free zone.
