Crun Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Photographs from Cock Lane Bridge of the dive under trenches. After taking these I had a look at the work under the A15 and was surprised to see two LNER Azumas pass in opposite directions on the GNGE lines.

To be more precise, the works trains are currently at Tallington Junction, this side of Stoke Tunnel. EDIT Also works trains just north of Retford.

Donington Road Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Not a soul about working today. The only notable change is part of the canted concrete trackbed has been cast on the previous base across Werrington Brook. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Richard E Posted November 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Busy today. At Cock Lane even the dumper trucks were struggling with the mud, still moving spoil out, one bucketful at a time and it was coming out of the bucket in a single 'plug' of soil! The trackside drains are in too. Work continues on the dive under as a northbound train of empty stock passes on the down Stamford. There was fine gravel going in with ground matting ready to go in place as well at the end of the concrete raft. Moving over to Lincoln Road it was really busy there. The pipework over the bridges is now completed and awaiting connection at both ends. Work was going on to clear soil around the piles ready for the walling to be put in place. Concrete was being brought in to form the foundations for the bridge wing wall. And the piles were being drilled for bar to be secured in place so that the facing skin can be secured in place. Meanwhile under the A15 the southern wall is emerging from the shuttering ... ... even whilst concrete is still being pumped in to cast them at the other side of the road.

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted November 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2020 Those pipes really are close to the surface on the bridge and the parapets definitely look a bit on the low side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted November 19, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2020 And how long before there is a complaint that the kerbs are not wheelchair/pushchair friendly? Mind they are not very human friendly either. Easy to fall if trying to cross. I assume that as there are pavements it is a permitted pedestrian route?

Jonathan AFAIK this is just a footpath/cycle route, so the kerbs etc are just dressing for the pipework. https://goo.gl/maps/yuDPjAQPA97eC73X6 Edited November 19, 2020 by melmerby 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now a cyclepath and footpath. It is also used by local horseriders. The temporary footbridge is 'interesting' when a horse is ridden across it. I can see railings being used on the full span of both bridges being anchored on either end and in the centre. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
