A tender has opened for work to replace a bridge in Earley.
Wokingham Borough Council is looking for contractors to replace the footbridge ramps, and refurbish what it describes as the “.. aging bridge elements” of the Earley station footbridge.
The tender documents said the project will be delivered under a design and build contract.
“This contract approach aims to streamline the project delivery process by combining design and construction responsibilities under a single contractor.”
The footbridge also spans the A329M between Woodley to the north and Earley to the south, and carries a bridleway from Woodley along the boundary of Highwood nature reserve to the south of Earley railway station.
The bridge, which is owned and maintained by Wokingham Borough Council, was first constructed in 1971.
The value of the contract is listed as £2.65 million, with construction expected to begin in September 2025.
The tender is open until March 26.
