On The Slab

Work under the bridge continues with the creation of the internal steel reinforcement ready for the next pour.  The first view shows the base layer in place and the steel being assembled.

The vertical cylindrical piles are interlinked with the reinforcement for the slab, which will extend over the whole area between the sheet steel piling.

The view back through the bridge shows the section of completed rebar and the temporary wooden stopper at the end.  Work will continue with the steel work so that the whole section can be concreted.  That will be one of the last concrete pours required.

Temptingly trains were running to within sight of the bridge as part of the Heritage Open Days in which CHR are taking part over the two weekends. The Signal box is open for viewing and trains run at both sites.

Thanks to Guy N for the pictures.

Until next time.
