 To link the new developments around Battersea Power Station to Battersea Park , in 2004 a new curved footbridge was built beneath the southern end of Chelsea Bridge . The footbridge was built offsite in four sections , transported by road to the King George V Dock where it was assembled , and the completed structure floated down the river and hoisted into position . It is planned that once the riverfront in the area has been opened to the public , following the completion of the rebuilding of Battersea Power Station into a commercial development , the new bridge will form part of the Thames Path . The new bridge curves out from the bank , overhanging the river bank by 33 feet ( 10 m ) , and cost £ 600 @,@ 000 to build .
