Boots Bridge Renovation, Nottingham

Danaher & Walsh were appointed by Via to renovate Boots Bridge, which spans the Beeston Canal, Nottingham. Originally built by Boots Pharmaceuticals, this bridge served as a vital link for workers accessing the Boots Works adjacent to the canal.

Project Overview

The primary aim of the renovation was to restore the underutilised footbridge, reconnecting a previously well-travelled pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. This initiative sought to enhance accessibility to Nottingham City Centre, encouraging increased foot traffic and connectivity within the community.

We replaced the existing timber bridge deck, establishing a safe and durable access route. In addition, the metal bridge structure underwent mechanical
preparation and was repainted to enhance its longevity and visual appeal.

What do our customers say about us?

“We engaged Danaher & Walsh to carry out the renovation works on Boots Bridge spanning the Beeston Canal, and we are pleased with the outcome of the project. Their team demonstrated a solid understanding of our objectives to restore this footbridge and reconnect the vital path for pedestrians and cyclists.
The replacement of the timber bridge deck has created a safe access route, and the preparation and repainting of the metal structure have not only ensured its longevity but also enhanced its appearance for the local residents and waterway users. Danaher & Walsh effectively managed the necessary permits with the Canal & River Trust and developed a construction phase plan that minimised disruption to the public and watercourse users throughout the project.
We appreciate their efforts in bringing this bridge back into use and look forward to future collaborations.”
