Cambridge 2000: Cam: Riverside Bridge
Cam: Riverside Bridge
The view southwest from the southeast side of the first
new bridge over the Cam
in Cambridge since the Elizabeth Way Bridge opened in 1971.
That was a combined vehicle, pedestrian and cycle bridge whereas
this is a pedestrian and cycle bridge, in keeping with the
current prevelant anti-car mentality of the city authorities.
Indeed, as can be seen in the photo, the bridge lands on this
side of the river smack in the middle of a road (Riverside),
which thus had to be closed to through traffic at this spot.
The
entrance on this side
is a long ramp with a relatively shallow gradient. The ramp on
the other side is even longer.
