2 steel girders in place and the cross beams too. Really fast work.
It all happened before lunch
The first beam goes in
It fitted first time.. Totally amazing! but measure twice cut once!!
The steel arrives
Our surprise delivery this morning!
The gravel clear up begins
Not only is the bridge progressing well, we’ve also started the huge task of clearing the gravel off the fields. The diggers and dumpers are multiplying!
Line of the new bridge
Here are the 2 abutments .. They are going to be stone faced and the steel dropped into place. Simple… so I’m led to believe!
Filling the gabions
Progress continues at a pace. The gabions are being packed so they hold firm.
Alas this was Thursday.. Not quite so sunny today!
