The gigantic bowstring girder structure was craned into position a couple of weeks ago and I expected to see the bridge opened shortly. How wrong I was, as there is much work yet to be done, and they are now constructing the re-enforced concrete parapets in wooden formwork.
View from Batemen Street. Not a pretty bridge, but it would look better with some nice climbing plants growing up it.
Seems pretty chaotic looking from London Road on the City side, but I imagine that it's much better organised than it looks.
From the pedestrian bridge you can see the concrete parapets being poured.
And meanwhile, down below at track level, life goes on as normal.
For comparison

The new bridge opens at (after?) the end of this month. The last Rail Link shuttle bus runs on November 29th (no Sunday service)
