100 miles of floating walkways could be built in Manchester city centre

Brightly-coloured walkways could be built over the River Irwell in a project to build a 100-mile network of walking routes across Manchester.

The CyanLines initiative, expected to cost at least £100m over the next 10 years, will connect Manchester’s parks, rivers, and canals with new signage, routes on the Komoot app, and major infrastructure projects.

They could include constructing new walkways along a city centre section of the River Irwell, with images showing cyan-coloured wooden paths floating above both the Manchester and Salford sides of the river, complete with jetties for rowing boats and cycle lanes which snake around existing road bridges.
