Building a new cyclepath through Millennium Green in Halesworth was never going to be a small job – in fact, when we initially saw the size of the project, we were a bit daunted. But anything is possible, and we knew we had not only the paving expertise but also that we could call on suppliers and subcontractors we knew and trusted.
With any project of this scale, you have to deal with loads of different organisations, and the logistics of liaising with Network Rail, the Environment Agency, Sustrans and UK Power Networks weren’t exactly straightforward but we brought it all together.
And then of course there’s the landscape itself: getting a huge digger on to a flood plain in January was fun. We also had to cross two rivers, which included having an army bridge craned in so we could then build bridge abutments for the finished cycleway.
We’re so proud of this project and the trust and relationships we built during its construction, which are fitting for a community project of this scale.
