• The bridge is being delivered using a top-down construction method, with the structure built at ground level, before the earth is excavated to create space for the trains to pass underneath. 

• Northbound carriageway was closed and realigned on 11-12th July followed by the southbound carriageway on 18-19th July. The multi-stage approach was designed to reduce disruption for drivers and avoid the British Grand Prix.
