New A13 bus bridge at Ship and Shovel - and cycle bridge?

The Barking and Dagenham Post (May 28, p 24) has an item about this proposal to build a "bus bridge and cycle path ... over the A13". Head of Spatial Regeneration Jeremy Grint is quoted as saying "it will be a bus lane only with a cycle path leaving the junction with Renwick Road towards Goresbrook." That isn't clear. Don't worry too much at the moment though as work is not expected to start until 2014. Even so it could help to reduce the severance that the A13 causes.

Jeremy Grint added: "At the moment TfL are proposing a bridge over the A13 from Renwick Road which will become a segregated bus, cycle and pedestrian route when it hits Castle Green . It then proceeds across Castle Green to Goresbrook Rd roughly along the alignment of the existing footpath."
