In the nineteenth century, the river was the earliest centre in Britain for the commercial cultivation of watercress.<\/p>\n<p>Julia Gregory, director of projects with Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, said: \u201cEbbsfleet Garden City and the surrounding area has a fascinating history\u00a0and while the work goes on to document the items found, it would be lovely to find them a permanent home here in the Garden City at some point in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The main aim of the construction of the bridge at Ebbsfleet Garden City was to provide access across the river whilst minimising the environmental impact.\u00a0Ecologists have been consulted throughout the project to prevent ecosystem damage and the team programmed works to avoid noise that would impact on bird nesting seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to construction, a special\u202fbarrier was installed to prevent reptile and amphibians from entering the site, therefore protecting the local populations.<\/p>\n<p>Springhead Bridge was awarded a Bronze Status in the Building and Construction category at the Green Apple Awards in November for Environmental Best Practice 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Ebbsfleet Garden City now has more than 1,800 homes with\u202falmost\u202f5,000 residents.\u202fIt also has a primary school with plans for two others and a major secondary school campus underway.\u202fIts first supermarket opened this year and a pub and hotel opened in 2017.
