Engineers in Long Eaton are kicking off a big upgrade next week by dismantling a century-old metal footbridge over the Ear Wash Canal. The old crossing sat so low that walkers often bump their heads on it, and now it's time for replacement with a striking new curved design abroad, street. This new bridge will pair with a fresh waterfront area along the canal, creating a public spot perfect for local events. It's all part of the 25 million pound Long Eaton Town deal, government cash aimed at boosting the area through better connections for residents. Meanwhile, a second footbridge at Britannia Mills is nearly ready, with plans to crane it into place around Friday March 13th.

1:01Piling work there is moving ahead nicely, even after recent rainy weather, thanks to help from the Canal and River Trust. Local leaders are thrilled, calling these truly exciting times as more town-deal projects wrap up on schedule. One standout is the revamped stables by the town hall, now a sleek business center where new firms are settling in after keys changed hands last. With bridges rising and spaces transforming, Long Eaton is shaping up as a more connected and vibrant spot for everyone.
