Also of note is new lighting near the foot of the bridge at Cock Lane. This is just a replacement of the original lamp post that Illuminated the old bridge so it is not going to do much for the new bridge. As far as I am aware there is to be no lighting of the bridge itself. Maybe the Council will get involved with this issue at a later date. The lamp post on the west side will not be replaced as that would be where the Stamford Lines are now situated. The lamp post at the right of the picture. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Richard E Posted May 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 7, 2020 Damn - Been out on the pushbike today, I guess I must have been there at a similar time. I'm going to feel it later on, saddle sore posterior feels likely. I've got these from Cock Lane: Pumping seems to have ceased. The dive under starts to take shape. These seem to be the kit that are causing complaints in Werrington. The new headspan is visible. Then moving on to Lincoln Road there is nothing to see East of the road but they do seem to be making progress with the section which will become an abutment for the new bridge. And the excavation under the A15 is surprisingly deep. Whilst Hurn Lake/Morgan Lake/Siddall Lake has now dried out ... And finally a shot from Hurn Road footbridge which seems to have another new headspan visible just north of the junction. IIRC that is roughly where the box will go under the main. 9 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The happier I am anyway, as I am still confined to barracks. You were only slightly later, by about 6 hours !! You did well to cycle that far from home, well done. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donington Road Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 In the photo below my friend was asking why the line of sheet piling was starting to splay out at the end of the yellow fencing, and the opposite side. AFAICS, it is the transition point from sheet piling to cylindrical piling. The video, if you pause it at 30 seconds in, shows the transition point. Dark grey (sheet steel piling), to light grey (cylindrical concrete piling). 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Richard E Posted May 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 7, 2020 About 14 miles on the bike, not used to it any more but used to do 25 miles a day just keeping fit. Trouble is that was a lot longer ago than I'd like to admit. Still on the same bike though. Trouble is the 14 took almost as long as the 25 used to! 3 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, nothing stated within the regulations in respect of distance or, indeed, the time spent exercising. In any case I was on very quiet country lanes a lot of the way and saw far fewer people than I do when I go to the supermarket shopping. And I was never more than 6 miles from home anyway. In fact on a 2km (1.25 miles) restriction I couldn't even go shopping as my nearest supermarket is 2.5 miles away. And before you ask I cannot get a home delivery date in the next 3 weeks either.
