× PROPOSALS to build a pedestrian bridge costing up to £1.5m in order to connect a park which will be at the centre of a new one-way road system with nearby recreation grounds are set to be approved.
Sheffield City Region awarded funding for the ‘active travel’ structure for pedestrians and cyclists over railway lines between Penny Pie Park and Pogmoor Recreation Ground.
The contentious wider scheme, which resulted in Penny Pie Park being closed to the public more than a year ago, will see a multi-lane gyratory built to ease congestion between the town centre and junction 37 of the M1.
