To make the road bridge safe for people taking advantage of the excellent fishing, two pedestrian bridges were added to the side of the existing bridge structure. The new bridges are attached to the existing as prefabricated steel cantilevers, structurally separate to allow separate landing points and to avoid damage in the event of a road bridge collision. The bridges are universally accessible.
