Thanks for your question Seabag. This river crossing has been outlined in TfL's Connecting the Capital report. See more here for a map of the new river crossings proposed for London - https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/publications-and-reports/new-river-crossings-for-london Sadiq Khan also highlighted how important he considers the crossing when questioned by MP Caroline Pidgeon on May 25th 2016 for Mayor's Question time. He revealed that the work he has tasked TfL to undertake will consider the timescales for the different options to deliver the crossing as quickly as possible. More information can be found here - http://www.carolinepidgeon.org/node/1391 Kitschenette is right about how supporting this bridge design will encourage it to be built. Public support, which has been particularly visible on Social Media, has played a vital role in helping reForm and Elliott Wood prove how popular the design is and continues to be instrumental in the process of making it a reality at this stage. There are currently no other designs being proposed for this crossing. To find out more information about the background to the bridge design and find out more about the positive impact it will have on both sides of the river, see the interview on reForm's website, which was featured on the NLA website - http://www.reform-architects.london/nla-peoples-choice-award/ For more information about the continuing NLA exhibition, which runs until the 5th of October, see here- http://newlondonarchitecture.org/programme/exhibitions/2016/new-london-2016--londons-best-new-projects

Thanks for all the votes, fingers crossed!

Some of you may be aware of the proposed Rotherhithe Bridge design (image attached) that has been nicknamed the ?Boomerang Bridge? from the press it has been receiving over the last few months. reForm Architects, a Southwark based architecture practice and Elliott Wood engineers are proposing London?s first pedestrian and cycle bridge in an area crying out for a river crossing. From Durrand?s Wharf in Rotherhithe to Westferry road / Marsh wall across the river and predicted to carry 13,000 clean commuters every day (that?s equivalent to 15 full Jubilee Line trains or over 170 full double decker buses) the proposed bridge will connect south east London to the docklands peninsular. Less congestion on road and rail and cleaner air. Linking to National Cycle Routes and Cycle Super Highways, it will provide a healthy new travel option for millions and open up more cycle journeys in the south east. It has also been outlined as a much needed crossing in TfL?s Connecting the Capital report. To find out more information about the project including an animation, see the Rotherhithe Bridge website - http://www.rotherhithebridge.london/ While this is only one award the project is at a stage where demonstrating strong local support for the design will prove to be fundamental in bringing it closer to being built.
