The footbridge will connect Riverside Drive with Perth Road.
A new £3.5 million footbridge to connect one of Dundee’s busiest streets to the waterfront will be discussed by councillors.
The contract to design and build the crossing over the railway at Seabraes between Perth Road and Riverside Drive is recommended to go to Morgan Sindall plc.
Will Dawson, convener of Dundee City Council’s city development committee said: “I am sure that the stunning design and strategic location of the new bridge will soon make it a city landmark.
“Thanks to the new bridge pedestrians and cyclists will get easy access from one of the main arteries of Dundee to the heart of the waterfront.”
Work on the bridge is expected to start on site in autumn with a completion date in spring next year.
Councillors will meet to discuss the project on Monday February 24.
