Boat users wishing to travel through Sleaford are able to benefit from this new £150,000 bridge that was installed in 2008. It replaced the former fixed footbridge that stopped most traffic – apart from canoes – from proceeding any further. The lift-up section is operated manually by the user when needed. The footpath element of the bridge is also wider, allowing wheelchair users, and people pushing prams, to cross more easily. A new river access point has also been created with the construction of the new slipway near The National Centre for Craft and Design building up ahead. Carre Street and the town centre lie ahead and New Street is reached via a ramp or steps on the left.
