Latest Twist to Railway Path Story

Twisted Arch by Cod Steaks was the winning design in a competition to design a new gateway for the Path, commissioned by Sustrans, Bristol City Council (Parks) and the Avon Frome Partnership. The new gateway, off St Philips Road in Bristol, was installed in time for Sustrans’ 30th anniversary celebration on 7th July 2007. Further landscaping works to improve the entrance will take place over the winter.
