Piccadilly Curve
 A walkway between Numbers 2 and 3
Piccadilly Place opens out into the Piccadilly Curve
bridge which carries pedestrians over London Road to the
entrance to Piccadilly Station. The bridge was opened to
the public and named by a public poll in 2006.
It spans a gap of 35 metres and it is
4.5 metres wide, 9 metres high and weighs 35 tonnes. It
was manufactured in Huddersfield, then transported to
site in pieces to be assembled on-site, prior to being
lifted into place by one of the country's largest cranes
on Sunday June 25th. It is projected that by 2008, over
25 million passengers will be using Piccadilly Station
and it is likely that the new bridge will be crossed by
4.5 million people each year. |
