Case Study: Highway Bridge over the River Don

19 March 2025

The new 30m clear-spanning Highway Access Bridge and Access Road was created to connect Langsett Road North to a prestigious future 284 home development across the River Don, at Oughtibridge Mill, Sheffield.

Project Details

LOCATION/ Oughtibridge, Sheffield, South Yorkshire

CLIENT/ Peter Duffy Ltd

VALUE/ £2 Million

EXPERTISES/ Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering

Engineering and Design Factors

Structural design development
Detailing of the bridge
Piled abutments
Related highway retaining walls

Alan Wood & Partners handled all of the communication with Sheffield City Council regarding the changes to the Approval in Principle and obtaining approvals because the new bridge structure and access road had to meet an adoptable standard. Remedial work and more ground testing were necessary as part of the renovation because the new buildings and access road were situated on the site of the previous Oughtibridge Paper Mill.

Description of the Works

Approval in Principles
Environment Agency Approvals
Highway works, including S278/S38 design and external works
Communication with local council and water authorities

Alan Wood & Partners participated in frequent discussions with the council, developer, and principal contractor.
