In 2002 Intaspan were approached by Bath &
North east Somerset Council regarding the construction
of a single span foot/cycle bridge to link existing footpaths
at Norton Radstock.

Intaspan had already worked with Bath & North East Somerset on
the Keynsham Footbridge, and were delighted to have another
opportunity to work with the authority.

The brief was for a steel footbridge, but since no firm design
had been agreed, Intaspan submitted several options
— all steel, steel structure with timber deck and steel
parapets and steel deck with timber parapets.

After consideration, Bath & North East Somerset awarded
the design and build of the bridge to Intaspan, opting for a
steel warren truss span with Ekki hardwood top and bottom
rail and vertical Ekki infill.

Erection took place in June 2003 using an 80 tonne all-terrain
crane. A Sunday was chosen to minimise traffic disruption
and the erection operations were completed to schedule.
