Abstract

Saxe Street footbridge is a new glass Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) footbridge designed by WSP on behalf of Balfour Beatty on a Design & Build contract with Network Rail. The new FRP footbridge replaces a wrought iron iron footbridge built in 1884 that was suffering from extensive corrosion.
