Work is finally underway on the new footbridge. By Thursday, the carpark on Riveside Road is closed, as is most of Lower Beach Road. Instead, there’s a new path through the car park:

On the other side of the car park, the base of the new Adur footbridge is taking form, as rocks reach out into the river:

And this is how it all looked by Saturday morning:
