RMweb Premium Richard E Posted September 16, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2020 9 hours ago, Donington Road said: I still cannot see where the space is on the new bridge for the mains water pipe that is supposedly being moved from its present position just west of the old bridge. The rebar on the cross spans look very near the same height of the existing Lincoln Road bridge surface. The blue valves that were installed many months ago just below the surface either side of the bridges dictate that the pipe will be on the west side. Hang it off the side rather than bury it? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Richard you are not suggesting they deface the aesthetically pleasing design of the new bridge with some Victorian pipework. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Richard E Posted September 16, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 16, 2020 Thinking about it is there space underneath but between the bridge beams instead of on top of them? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already infilled with concrete between each span, about two inches from the top and are now in the process of putting rebar across the whole width of the bridge for what is presumably a concrete slab. How deep they have gone between the spans with concrete I don't know. Edited September 16, 2020 by Donington Road spill cheqer hicup 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I am not a big fan of any type of forum. I tolerate this one because the subject is interesting and local to me. I much prefer Usenet where it is much easier to follow conversations because of threading and generally there is no moderator culling posts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes I have had auto merge added to my posts on Railforums.co.uk. The moderators have also created a separate thread in the Photography Sites & Videos and Blogs section for what they deem to be just photographs or videos from around Werrington Junction: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/photos-and-videos-from-werrington-junction-including-work-on-the-grade-seperation-project.207886/page-2#post-4776476 as opposed to photographs or film of work on the dive under in the Infrastructure and Stations section: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/werrington-grade-separation-approved.167526/page-17#post-4776440. They haven't got it quite 'right' with both threads. Edited September 18, 2020 by Crun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No where near ready to lay any track from them in towards the ramp yet Jamie. The next step is digging out the recently bored piles at Hurn Road to cast the retaining wall atop. Lincoln Road bridge is quite a long way off being finished and the nine day closure to push the box section under the ECML is not until 16th January. I think you will have another year of me whittling on and posting photographs. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donington Road Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) My roving reporter friend has put together a video showing some aspects of the initial stages of the Werrington Upgrade development. Views are from around Hurn Road and Cock Lane showing the old Brook Drain and main site area. Watch it on Youtube and give a thumbs up because I know how hard he has been working to find all those old clips.
