Standens Barn Bridge is a multi-section pedestrian footbridge providing local residents with access to the Weston Favell Shopping Centre. The centre comprising of 65 retail units including a Tesco Extra Superstore and other important local amenities has been undergoing a programme of refurbishment
by its new owners – Redefine International Plc.

The steel walkway comprises a total of seven sections ofvarying lengths that are each simply supported by a combination of reinforced concrete and steel piers. The structure is 170 linM long overall, the largest single span section of which is some 20 metres and crosses above the busy A4500 Wellingborough Road dual carriageway.

This steel footbridge structure – built in 1975 – had been neglected for many years along with its concrete and steel supports, and had not received any meaningful maintenance work since its original construction. Its refurbishment was the first major part of a larger scheme of repairs & refurbishment to the overall shopping centre carried out by Makers Construction.
