Good Friday bike ride to drop food and milk at my parent's house. Looking south from Hurn Road bridge. A bit of earth moving activity on the dive under near Werrington Junction:
-
There were some rusty bits of trackside metal work taken away during the construction of the westward move of the Stamford lines as captured by Donington Road a good while ago. Perhaps they will take the opportunity during the remainder of the creation of the dive under to remove old, obsolete metal work etc.

My journey out to my parents with food and milk was OK but was against the wind so slower than return journey. I waited at bottom of Hurn Lane bridge to let another cyclist pass safely, only to discover two trainspotters on the bridge itself... Thanks for adding your knowledge to my photo's. I will be out that way next Saturday to take food and drink over again, all being well.

There's the beginnings of the approach cutting being dug:

Very quiet but some activity towards the Hurn Road bridge as seen from Cock Lane bridge. Too far away to capture on a phone camera. All the other machinery was parked up neatly with no workers in sight.

I barely saw a soul crossing the bridges last Saturday. If I did see people in Werrington or Ferry Meadows, I let them go on their way with plenty of space before I carried on cycling along any narrow paths etc. I will take a few photo's very quickly and then jump back on my bike. Can't hang around as I have food and milk to deliver to my parents.

I'll be crossing the ECML by bike via Hurn Road footbridge and back home via Cock Lane footbridge tomorrow morning. I'll check to see if they are working this Saturday.

There's a short article about the Werrington dive-under on pages 20 and 21 of the RAIL magazine issue 901 dated 25th March to April 7th. RAIL 902 out on April 8th will have an update on the project by Paul Stephen.

Hi Mick, The grade separation must have been suspended due to Coronavirus pandemic. I was out dropping food and milk off to my parents. I feel better for getting out for some exercise, train watching and birdwatching. I discovered a possible breeding pair of Red Kites but am keeping the details secret. I hope you are OK. I will try and add more photographs when possible. Cheers, Chris

Very quiet on my daily cycle ride crossing the ECML over the Hurn Road bridge in the morning and Cock Lane bridge after lunch. No sign of any workers or activity. Just water pumps going.
