The number of possible designs for a major new bridge in the capital have been reduced from 74 to four.
Wandsworth Council in south London today revealed the four teams left in the competition to create a new pedestrian and cycle link from Nine Elms to Pimlico.
The finalists were selected by the competition’s jury panel which includes Wandsworth Council leader Ravi Govindia, who said: “Congratulations to our shortlisted teams and I look forward to seeing their initial ideas developed further. The devil will be in the detail and the next stage will show us whether these four highly skilled and innovative design teams can meet the complex challenges this project presents.”
The next stage will see the teams develop their initial ideas into detailed designs.
Wandsworth expects to announce the winning team in late autumn. A new bridge would require planning permission before it could be built.
