Interserve has secured a £12 million contract to install a new footbridge on the A63 in Hull.

The scheme will see a new structure built in front of Princes Quay and work is scheduled to start in October.

Interserve will also be undertaking construction and enhancement works on Garrison Road Roundabout (Roger Millward Way), which will involve the construction of two new lanes of traffic in each direction at this busy roundabout.

Overall, the project will deliver improved safety, better access to the marina area and reconnect the city centre with its waterfront and regenerated Fruit Market. In addition, the scheme will alleviate congestion on the A63 towards the Hull ferry terminal.

Wayne Howell, Interserve Divisional Director for Highways, said: "We are delighted to have been chosen to play such an important role in providing the City of Hull with a vital piece of infrastructure."
