Bridging the Energy gap
A planning application has been submitted for a bridge which
will link both sides of Baglan Energy Park.
The bridge will span 5 railway lines, joining together the
existing Brunel Way and Central Avenue near the Baglan Innovation
Centre. This will allow easier and better access to and
within the Energy Park for vehicles, cyclists and
pedestrians.
The bridge is expected to cost in the region of £6 million
pounds and take about 12 months to build.
Gareth Nutt Head of Property and Regeneration for NPTCBC said:
"Baglan Energy Park is a significant employer in the area and this
bridge will open up further development and regeneration
opportunities. Also travel by vehicle, public transport,
cycling or walking within and through the park will be made
easier. The bridge will complement the Harbour Way project
which is opening in October providing another through access route
for businesses, local residents and visitors south of the
motorway."
