This image shows the view from Paul's Walk looking towards Blackfriars Railway Bridge and station with South Bank Tower under construction in the background. As part of the Thameslink Programme, the platforms at Blackfriars station have been extended across the Thames and partially supported by the 1864 bridge piers. The project is designed by Jacobs and Tony Gee & Partners and built by Balfour Beatty. The work also includes the installation of a roof covered with photovoltiac solar panels. It is the largest of only two solar bridges in the world (the other being Kurilpa Bridge in Australia). Other green improvements include sun pipes and systems to collect rain water. Blackfriars station secures half its power from the 4, 400 roof-mounted solar panels.
