These pontoons will form a work platform while the right-bank riverside path under the railway bridge, known as The Jetty, is reinstated. It will be made of fabricated steel sections (shown in TL4760 : Abbey-Chesterton Bridge: steelwork for The Jetty) and be wider than the one it replaces.

The Abbey-Chesterton Bridge will carry The Chisholm Trail, a new cycle route linking Cambridge and Cambridge North stations and offering a safe off-road route out of the city to the north and north east. Completion of the bridge span has been delayed and the steelwork will not be craned into place on the ferroconcrete abutments until the end of October 2020.
