The Commissioners of Public Works are currently evaluating the optimum mainland location for the bridge to Spike Island. Discussions are in hand with various parties and have not yet reached a conclusion. The design of the bridge has yet to be completed and the estimated cost will not be available until the design is finalised. A Planning Procedure is required and will be completed under Part 9 of the Planning Regulations.
