One of the largest concrete bridge lifts in Europe has been completed, marking a milestone in the regeneration of the former steelworks site at Ravenscraig.
The rail bridge, delivered through a £16.9 million agreement between North Lanarkshire Council and Network Rail, allows a new dual carriageway to be constructed under the railway line (West Coast main line), with pedestrian and cycle paths to be built between Motherwell and Ravenscraig.
The 5,000-tonne bridge and support structures were moved into position earlier this month by Network Rail and Story Contracting using remote-controlled transporters, in what is believed to be the biggest concrete bridge moves of its kind in Europe.
