I have seen the new crane it’s a green one sitting behind the pub

I heard that today they are bringing in a 750 tonne crane today for the Bletchley flyover. 

I recently saw at newton Longville where Chepstow park is that they are placing new fencing and create a new place could there be a level crossing? 

Any updates on the bridge removals?

Nothing more removed overnight. Pictures taken at 1015 this morning.

I wonder why they abandoned the lift today, I wonder if they will do it tonight?

Any new updates on the flyover?

Following the removal of the sections on Thursday, the two cranes by the Brunel roundabout were in the process of being dismantled by Friday afternoon.

Where has the crane gone? What about taking out the supports?

The large crane that has dominated the Bletchley skyline for the past few months is now being dismantled ready for moving elsewhere.

would anyone know where it is going or is it moving to another location in Bletchley? 

They are taking out the last two sections of the span over The Brunel Centre roundabout.

I asked this morning if anything had been removed overnight and they told me nothing had been removed since Saturday night when the section behind Halfords over the WCML was moved.

 

Preparation work for the Buckingham Road spans was on-going and there was no sign of a lift around 1700 this evening with only a few staff in evidence on the full section to the right of the remaining spans. 

It looks like it there was a removal last night. there is one that beside the pub has gone, the one underneath Buckingham road, the one next to the Halfords and the one last night is where the other car garage is but up a bit. I wish I took a picture as I went their this morning to do shopping but not had my phone with me.

As I went to Sainsbury’s this morning I noticed that there is another section of the flyover was removed overnight using the crane on the former telephone rental site. I think the span above Buckingham road may have its removal abbandoned. They are also creating a new road to get to the railway line as I noticed going past Burger King this morning.

It is going to look weird when you see on Buckingham road that there is no flyover bridge there when you come up to the Brunel roundabout 

Has the bridge span now gone or will they taking down the column at night?

Three spans removed this afternoon leaving three more for tomorrow.

Will they be taking down the Column too? I can’t wait to see more pictures.

I saw today that workmen are on top of the span  which they are removing. The alleys heavy haulage truck is underneath buckingham road bridge. The big big crane is now complete just waiting to go into the air. I think that now they have 5 or 4 cranes they can do multiple lifts If i would imagine.

Has the bridge span been taken down yet and this project has seen the most cranes used.

Looking at that last picture, I bet its a lot lighter in 'The Park' these days...

There was long yellow section of crane parked up near Tattenhoe/Snellshall this morning, wonder where that might be going?

I went past this morning and I saw the long yellow section of crane at the former telephone rentals site. Looks like there is 5 cranes altogether also workmen are on the scissor lift making adjustments to the next span.

I saw this morning that the workmen on top of buckingham road are diverting members of the public down water eaton road bridge and demolishing span 28 in the former telephone rentals site

What time will the bridge be lifted out I would love to watch and film it. Has anyone got any videos of it coming out?

When will the bridge be taken down?
