The bridge will be the fourth in the Nottingham area
|
Another major bridge is being planned for the River Trent in Nottinghamshire - but not for another six years.
The county council has decided against a bridge at Gamston and opted for a crossing near Radcliffe-on-Trent.
An independent two-year study said a bridge in that area would have a less damaging impact on the environment.
The council says building will not start until 2011 at the earliest, when work to add a new carriageway to the nearby A52 is finished.
There are already three bridges across the Trent in the Nottingham area.
No cost or timetable for the project has been discussed.
