The 280-tonne futuristic Gateway Bridge was put into place in the autumn of 2001. The footbridge, that cost £600,000, stretches 40 metres over this inner ring road and acts as the centrepiece of a major environmental improvement project that saw the transformation of the previously rundown Belvedere Street, Portland Street and Stockwell Gate area. Prior to the opening of the bridge, pedestrians and cyclists had to negotiate a multi-lane carriageway to access the “Portland Sidings Retail Park” and the football ground. The footbridge links the Portland Sidings shopping area on the left with the town centre and St Peter’s Retail Park on the right.
