Donington Road Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Around the access at Walton. We are not sure what is going on here as nothing seems to have altered since the end of May. The Utility cables are still strewn all over the place, these are in the area that was once Marholm Road which led to the level crossing that was closed in the late seventies. Looking towards Cock Lane footbridge, the fencing appears more complete. We have noticed that every so often there is a lighter green fence panel. It is only the vertical bits that are a different colour, from what we have seen at Cock Lane these verticals give the appearance that they could be made of fibreglass as they have that straw like structure on the back unlike the smooth steel finish.

Probably watch the dive under in use during my usual cycle rides until I grow tired of the same photographs... I always stop on the various bridges whether I can see the dive under or not.

Donington Road Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Armco fencing is being finished off along the top of the embankment at Lincoln Road. Interesting how the posts are put in. An excavator with a large diameter augar drills down, then a length of drainage pipe is inserted, the post is positioned and the pipe filled with cement. The adjacent field has been cultivated and probably seeded too. Changes on the west side of the dive under. The field has been levelled and top soil is being pushed further towards the main site. Brook Drain North is clearly visible curving around from Cock Lane to go under the ECML north of the dive under. The roadway on its west bank is access for the Environment Agency. 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got very similar shots to your first two! I nipped out to Hurn Road in the evening as it was a little bit cooler but it soon gets dark now. In the temperatures we have had this week Cock Lane is out of bounds, all that metal of the footbridge acts like an oven and should have a health warning, seriously!
