HS2 Ltd has released a time-lapse video of the successful modular bridge installation on the M42.
A joint venture of Laing O’Rourke and J Murphy & Sons installed the 65m modular bridge in just two days.
The 2,750t bridge, near what will become HS2’s Interchange station near Solihull, was carried along the motorway on a self-propelled modular transporter.
The 448-wheel transporter took just one hour and 45 minutes to move the bridge span 150m, where it was affixed to a composite concrete deck to complete the overall bridge structure.
