Over the next few weeks you will start to notice some changes in the area as the team continues with the construction. This includes:
Installing the remaining concrete piles on both sides of the river and will begin work on adding the concrete capping beam to the sheet pile river edge works.
The next key stage will be to finish the bridge foundations by installing concrete pile caps that will support the piers and abutments.
