Installation of the new footbridge was delayed by the Spending Review that the Government instigated last year.

This review considered all major infrastructure projects in the transport sector. The review was completed in June 2025 and the footbridge at Lostwithiel railway station has been approved and full funding is in place.

Network Rail has now signed contracts for the design and will soon be in a position to establish a programme of work for the building and installation of a permanent bridge to replace the current temporary structure. 

Hopefullly there will be a new bridge installed during 2026.
