On the weekend of the 15th February 2014 some very visible and significant progress was made as can hopefully be seen from the photos below. Please note that the rails on the bridge are temporary and will be used to assist in the placing of the final 10 cross beams, even the huge crane used could not reach far enough to put them in place.

Fitting the cross-beams |
Temporary track has been laid to install the remaining cross-beams. The Colas crane doesn't have enough reach to install cross-beams all the way across.
