This crossover has been built on-site over the last two nights.  It looks to be a replacement for the Down Fast and Up Fast ECML (top left).

Is it unusual that the sleepers will span both tracks?

 

Perhaps it provides a firmer base for the points etc by spreading the weight, stresses and strains?

Activity at the end of the road off Bretton Way. Taken at the entrance to the field adjacent to the ECML. There were metal beams next to the crane and a metal bridge.

Are they by any chance starting to add portal beams to the OHLE to get rid of the troublesome headspans.

Nothing seen stacked up next to the ECML. Only two or three from the orange army present by the distant  vans. The two machines could use the tracks if needs be. They both had wide bulldozer attachments on their fronts that I saw from the other side of the Cock Lane bridge.

It won't be cheap, but once I get a viewing gallery attached to those robust fencing posts and start charging an entrance fee the cash will be rolling in.😀

You'd do a roaring trade in hot chocolate and bacon rolls in the winter! 😉😀
