"The railway bridge that passes over Clapham High Street could get a makeover after a local group issued a design competition. Organised jointly by the Clapham Society and This is Clapham (Clapham BID), the design competition aims to turn the railway bridge into an "inspiring gateway" into the area. Although it sits next to Clapham High Street and Clapham North stations, the Clapham Society say that the existing bridge is a purely functional piece of infrastructure with limited contribution to the public realm."
"The design brief suggests that improvements could include lighting, re-cladding, public art, greening, or new way-finding strategies, and also draws inspiration from its Victorian heritage. Held in two phases, the competition will shortlist up to four proposals to develop further, each receiving an honorarium. The winning vision will serve as the basis for future implementation, pending funding and planning approvals."
