Forest Pushes for Permanent Trent Bridge Closures | Nottingham News

Nottingham Forest is pushing for major stadium expansion, aiming to boost capacity from 30,000 to 52,500 — starting with a 45,000 target — and to make permanent lane closures on Trent Bridge to manage the influx of fans. After previous failed attempts at temporary closures due to safety and traffic concerns, the club now proposes permanent closures of one lane on each side of the bridge, replacing ugly concrete barriers with sleek bollards like those on Westminster Bridge. City councillor Steve Battlemuch, a passionate fan, supports the change, calling it a chance to beautify the bridge and even suggest a “walk of fame.” The plan also includes using the underpass and shuttle buses to move fans without disrupting traffic.
