Limehouse Cut Lighting Scheme; Burdett Road Bridge



Description
Commissioned by British Waterways, London

Target: Bpa worked with British Waterways London to design and install innovative lighting schemes to a total of eight bridges and a unique section of floating towpath along the Limehouse Cut, east London. The scheme was intended to enhance amenity and security for towpath users, reducing crime and the fear of crime, and also to provide an imaginative display after dark at each of these key locations. This bridge is lit using a number of narrow beam projectors, mounted on the offside for security reasons, and fitted with special filters to cast interesting effects on the concrete underdeck, whilst throwing diffused light across to the towpath for the benefit of pedestrians and cyclists.

Achievement: The scheme has won praise from local people and has succeeded in its stated aims.
