St Paul’s Footbridge, Cwm 2005 Andrew Rowe Cwm To provide a striking landmark on the approach to Ebbw Vale and set a benchmark for good design, the Welsh Development Agency commissioned through CBAT, South Wales artist Andrew Rowe to work with Capita Gwent Consultancy and Rowecord the contractors for the bridge. Andrew developed a design which responded to the sloping geography of the site and appears to reach over from the lower levels of the town, to the school, crossing the railway and the road. The parameters for the design were extremely tight and a certain amount of compromising was required, to ensure that the structure could be manufactured and installed within the available budget and would respond to the many regulations applicable. However the current proposal is of a far higher standard than the customary bridges at other similar locations.
