Plans have been submitted to build a new footbridge over the River Wharfe to connect West Yorkshire with North Yorkshire.
Currently, there is a public right of way connecting the two banks of the river between Burley-in-Wharfedale and Askwith and walkers have to navigate a series of stepping stones, but due to rising river levels and heavy rainfall the stones frequently become become submerged making the crossing impassable. The plans have been submitted by volunteer group Burley Bridge Association, which says there have been hopes of building a bridge over this section of the Wharfe for 120 years.
It passes through the two UNESCO World Heritage sites of Saltaire and Fountains Abbey and also crosses the Wharfe using the stepping stones. The group hopes the new bridge will guarantee an all-year round crossing for people following the trail. The Nidderdale AONB is also a supporter of the bridge as it would like to encourage more foot traffic into the area. Burley Bridge Association estimates the bridge will cost £400,000 and it will be paid for through donations and voluntary sources.
