Galldris are proud to have played our part in the ongoing re-development of King Cross, which recently saw the opening of a new pedestrian footbridge

This project in partnership with our client Argent LLP saw us acting as Principal Contractor for the successful delivery of this bridge, called Espérance Bridge, it crosses Regent’s Canal and links Pancras Square with the shopping and dining district of Coal Drops Yard.

The bridge’s name – Espérance – has been chosen by local children from King’s Cross Academy, a school situated on King’s Cross Estate. Meaning ‘hope’ in French, the children chose Espérance as a symbol of positivity following a year of hardship for many.

The bridge was commissioned by King’s Cross, designed by Moxon Architects and Arup and fabricated by SH Structures, and with integrated lighting designed by Studio 29.

We would like to say well done to everyone involved in the successful delivery of this project.
