Aim
Bridges are used to cross over small water-courses connecting paths from one side to the other and removing significant barriers to accessibility. They should allow shared multi-use.
Eligibility
Any land is eligible.
Bridges must be linked to existing paths or selected in conjunction with the IPA “new path” or “upgraded path” capital items.
Requirements
Bridges should:
- Have a 1.8 metres wide clear use deck, unless approved as between 1.2m or 2.5m.
- Have a hand-rail(s).
- Be linked smoothly with a ramp to the adjoining path at either end.
Payment
You can claim £1,100 per square metre of clear user deck.
Inspections
The Inspector will check:
- The location and extent of the work as is detailed in the contract schedule of works and contract map.
- That the capital item requirements have been met as detailed above.
