Priory Drive Footbridge
Priory Drive Footbridge is entering the latter stages of its service life and is presenting movement to its foundations. Currently, due to the safety concerns around its stability of the footbridge, we are developing a scheme for its removal.
In July 2023, members of the public and key local stakeholders were encouraged to take part in an early consultation on the replacement of the structure.
This consultation formed part of a feasibility study in partnership with Network Rail, which looked at the practicalities of the project.
Until a replacement can be constructed, we will continue to work collaboratively with Mason Clark Associates and Network Rail to monitor the structure and carry out any safety repairs.
The footbridge links Priory Drive and Priory Road to Hotham Road and Bricknell Avenue by crossing over the Hull to Scarborough Railway line, forming the only local access for residents of the West to Appleton Primary School, Wyke College, and Kelvin Hall Secondary School.
Up-to-date details on the structure's replacement, including exact timeframes, will be announced on this page, and on Hull CC News.
