Shrewsbury's renovated Dana footbridge reopens after 11 months
A popular footbridge which links a residential suburb of Shrewsbury with the town centre has reopened today after nearly a year's renovation work.
The Dana Footbridge, which links Castlefields to the town and railway station, closed last December for works to be carried out.
Now Network Rail and Transport for Wales have thanked residents and station users for their patience as the latest phase of refurbishment work at the historic Shrewsbury station is completed.
Engineers completed extensive steel work repairs on the structure as well as repairing and replacing timber panels and supporting beans and brick work. Windows were also replaced on the grade II listed footbridge and the deck walkway has been renewed with an anti-slip surface and the structure has been repainted.
