Milton Village: Cycle Bridge in Place

Cycle Bridge in Place

Written 08/11/03

Very early on Saturday morning, and hour and a half earlier than expected, our foot/cycle bridge was rolled into position. Phil Mynott, a professional photographer who lives in the village, was on site and had access to the A14 while the move was taking place. He took these photos for us.

Foot/Cycle bridge starts to roll into place
The bridge sets out on its journey

Foot/Cycle bridge crosses the first slip road
Crossing the first slip road

Foot/Cycle bridge crosses the central reservation
... and the central reservation

Foot/Cycle bridge crabs sideways into position
The bridge lifters crab sideways to move the bridge into position

Foot/Cycle bridge starts to lower onto footings
... and then lower it onto the base

Foot/Cycle bridge - the team cheers
The team celebrate a job well done

Foot/Cycle bridge in place at last
Saturday morning, and a rather grey morning finds the bridge in place

Our thanks to Phil Mynott for these photographs.

You can find more photos of the bridge in place here and of those amazing heavy lifters (taken before the bridge was moved) here.

You can work back through earlier articles on the bridge starting here.
