Progress of Olympic Land Bridge
The Olympic Delivery Authorities have released images showing the progress on the land bridge known as the ‘Gateway to the Games’.
The bridge is 250m long, 40m wide, made with 1,700 tonnes of steel, will be the main pedestrian access into the Olympic Park.Doubling up as the roof of the Aquatics Centre training pool, the bridge will be used by up to 200,000 people every day during the 2012 Games.
It extends from the Stratford City development across the Aquatics Centre and towards the Olympic Stadium.
About 1,000 cu.m of concrete has been poured to create five sets of bridge supports, and seven pairs of steel beams have been lifted in to place.
Olympic Delivery Authority chairman John Armitt said “Seeing the bridge that will form the main ‘Gateway to the Games’ taking shape is a significant milestone and gives us an exciting glimpse of the route hundreds of thousands of spectators will take into the Olympic Park in 2012.”
