the project, which reportedly will be privately financed, is expected to cost an estimated £600 million (about $965 million)

At least one segment of the cycling path known as the Yarra Trail here in Melbourne is also floating. I can think of a stretch in Burnley: https://goo.gl/maps/mbKr4 https://goo.gl/maps/mbKr4 I'm not very sure the map is correct, because every time I've tried to cycle over this stretch, it was closed.
