A MILLENNIUM bridge project at Pateley Bridge is expected to receive the go-ahead next week.
It is being recommended that members of North Yorkshire County Council planning committee approve the plan when they meet on Tuesday. Planning officers said design and materials of the Millennium Green Bridge were of a high standard.
They said the bridge would have a subtle and understated design, a steel deck and parapet with concrete abutments.
Earlier, the Environment Agency expressed concern that the scheme would affect flood defences. But a flooding risk assessment indicated the bridge has been designed to minimise flooding problems.
