This is the third of four sections of the Gateway bridge being lifted onto trusses. Each section then had two dart track bases laid either side which can be seen on two lorries waiting to be lifted.
Photo shows four sections of bridge complete with eight sections track base.
The bridge will have a curve.
It is going to be an interesting day when the completed bridge is transported to site and then lifted into position as both the A1081 and airport spur road will have to be closed. I am also wondering what the complete structure will weigh, how big the cranes will have to be and whether the runway will close for the lift? The completed bridge will be back lit by LED's
Down at Parkway Station the start of the dart trackbed is taking shape either side of a central platform.
At the airport a new temporary walkway to the drop off zone is being installed under the walkway to the car park. The Dart will pass underneath this point.
Work carries on in digging out the dart route. In the background can be seen a lorry carrying parts of the third core of the second multi-story.
Worth remembering that the council is borrowing £225 million to build the dart but hopes to get the new concessionaire to eventually cough up the dosh and pay the council back.
