Stalled Belfast Bridge Project: Legal Battles Delay Pedestrian and Cycle Crossing

The planned pedestrian and cycle bridge across the River Lagan in Belfast has been put on hold due to legal disputes over a separate road upgrade project. The bridge, intended to connect the Gasworks area with Ormeau Park, has been awaited for over a decade. The Stormont Department for Infrastructure has paused the project, along with others like the A four Enniskillen Bypass and parts of the A one Junctions, while awaiting a court appeal decision. Local councillor Gary McKeown criticizes the delay, arguing that the bridge would improve city access, reduce car use, and help meet climate goals. Minister Liz Kimmins is exploring ways to protect these projects from the road cases impact and prioritizes delivery once the legal issues are resolved.
