A nova passarela facilitará o cruzamento da A630 Sheffield Parkway, uma via com trânsito constante e pesado, que liga o centro da cidade de Sheffield e trechos de Rotherham com a rodovia M1. Ela também permitirá que o cruzamento seja feito com segurança, uma vez que a atual travessia está entre as 10 mais perigosas da Grã-Bretanha
The new bridge will provide an important route over the A630 Sheffield Parkway, a busy dual carriageway which links the heart of Sheffield City Centre and parts of Rotherham, with the M1 motorway. It will also provide a vital safety route, since the existing route across the Parkway is noted as one of the top ten most dangerous crossings in the UK.
