The bridge was designed by Flint & Neill with Studio Bednarski and Hardesty & Hanover, and opened to the public on 7 July 2016.
The "design" includes a bulge that requires cyclists to make a sharp turn. This feature has attracted criticism.[1] One of the unusual turns was caused by a construction error that meant the original two ends of the bridge didn't meet up in the middle.[2]
