Merchants Bridge 01
Regeneration of the Castlefield area necessitated building a 67 in long footbridge to link the new Slate Wharf on the southwest side of the Bridgewater Canal with the old Catalan Square, on the northeast side. This bridge is the result of a design competition which stipulated a striking structure which would offer the best of 20th century design and engineering while complementing the seven established bridges at the site which cover 200 years of history. The bridge was opened in 1995.
