Newstead Road bridge
This is a Sustrans Connect2 project with funding from the Big Lottery Fund.
The Newstead Road bridge will become a centrepiece of the Rodwell Trail and make it easier for walkers and cyclists to use the route everyday.
It is funded by Sustrans and Dorset County Council. Sustrans is funding this route as part of their UK-wide 'Connect2' schemes to create networks for everyday journeys for people travelling by foot or by bike which are being created using a £50 million Big Lottery Fund grant after the UK public voted the scheme the winner of The People's Millions Lottery contest in December 2007.
