The Newtons Cove Footbridge in Weymouth Seafront, Dorset, was constructed in 2004. The bridge connects the world-renowned fossil beaches of Dorset to the Southwest Coast Path. Representatives at Unova Paint Products describe, “Rather than take the form of an iconic structure, the subtle blue steel bridge with open parapets was purposefully designed to be sympathetic to its surroundings and complement the natural landscape of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.”

The bridge serves as the main route to the popular tourist beach and stimulates the region’s economy. However, with the bridge’s inaccessibility, the local businesses reported massive declines as the bridge averaged 4,000 visitors in the summer.
