The path, which runs beneath the East Cliff bridge, connects to an abandoned railway line and provides what Lancashire County Council says is "a safe and picturesque" link to South Ribble.

The scheme is intended to improve access between the Guild Wheel and the city centre, as well as connecting to parts of South Ribble across the river.
