Castle Walk Bridge and Cycles
Dear Shropshire Council,
Please confirm the legal status of cycling over Castle Walk Bridge in Shrewsbury.
There's a Cyclists Dismount sign, but I understand that is only advisory.
There's a dedicated cycle path leading to the bridge on one side and a road on the other.
As such, does the cycle path follow onto the bridge, or is it considered a footpath only?
Yours faithfully,
Thomas Evans
Dear Thomas,
Thank you for your email.
Our traffic team have provided me with a copy of the legal order that
prohibits cycling on Castle Walk footbridge (and its “approaches”).
Cycling is allowed on Castle Walk itself so therefore we believe that the
cycle path ends at the Cyclists Dismount sign. See attached for your
information.
I hope that this answers your query but do come back to me if you need any
further information and I will ask the relevant team to assist.
