‘Bridge Of Hope’ Campaign
Bridges connect us. They bring people together and link communities. That's why PATH is inviting you to help name Haverfordwest's newest bridge. The Bridge of Hope campaign is your chance to be part of something that brings our community together.
Suggest a name that stands out as a message of unity and we'll present it formally to Pembrokeshire County Council as the bridge’s official name. The competition is open until 14th February 2026.
The winning entry will receive an original artwork of the bridge, generously created and donated by a local Pembrokeshire artist.
Questions and Answers
What is the Bridge Of Hope campaign?
The Bridge of Hope campaign aims to turn the conversation around the new bridge into something positive, by highlighting how bridges connect communities and promote unity and cooperation.
What is the Prize?
The prize is a painting of the bridge, painted by a local artist.
Why was the old bridge replaced?
The old bridge had developed metal erosion inside its structure, meaning it would need significant repair work making it economically unfeasible. This led to the development of the new project.
How much did the bridge cost?
The new bridge was part of the town centre redevelopment project, totalling £5.7 million that funded the construction of the Foundry building, the footbridge and plaza.
Pembrokeshire County Council contributed £600,000 with the rest as a grant from the UK Levelling Up fund. Without the funding, a replacement of the original bridge would have cost PCC upwards of £900,000 and a shorter lifespan.
