The tidy project is at its first phase which was completed in 2019. It was created by Diller Scofidio and Renfro. The bridges are made of prefabricated steel to lower the impact on the London Underground right below.
This bridge is not only a circulation way but also promotes biodiversity and theatre.
It becomes more than a bridge it is a sculpture.
