A railway bridge being built in Birmingham as part of the multi-million pound HS2 development is to be named after England's World Cup hero Jude Bellingham.
The 150-metre-long 'Bellingham bridge' will dominate the skyline in the player's home city when it is constructed as part of the controversial high-speed railway.
HS2 bosses have decided to name it after the former Birmingham City star following his eye-catching performances in the World Cup so far.
The striking designs for the bridge were released today ahead of England's quarter final showdown with France tomorrow.

Not all Brummies are happy with the decision - especially Aston Villa fans.
