Bridge construction work

Tender description

Guildford Borough Council, working closely with Surrey County Council and with funding from the M3 Local Enterprise Partnership wishes to replace Walnut Bridge in the centre of Guildford. The existing bridge is narrow and has a western entrance that is ‘hidden’ within an existing building, so that only those with local knowledge know of the bridge’s presence. A new bridge structure will also act as a catalyst for the regeneration of the Bedford Wharf site. This pedestrian and cycle bridge forms a vital link between the Railway Station and the Town Centre. The bridge forms a key component of the Guildford Town Centre Transport Package, with the remaining funding workstream from the M3 LEP secured in March 2016. The Council invites applications from suitably qualified operators and supply chains to build the Council's design for the bridge. Restricted procedure for a works procurement.
