Amazing aerial shots capture the impressive moment each pair of braced steel beams were meticulously craned perfectly into position in the bright weekend sunshine.
The beams, each pair weighing up to 65 tonnes, were installed as part of the latest phase of work to replace St Anne’s Road Bridge in Denton, which crosses the M67.
National Highways Programme Delivery Manager Mangat Bansal said:
“The work went very well and according to plan with each pair of beams lifted successfully and safely into place. We had to close the motorway to enable this latest phase in our project and thank everyone for their understanding and patience as we continue with our work to rebuild the bridge.”
The beams will support the new bridge deck, on which vehicles run.
The works were the final planned full weekend closure of the M67 for the project with the next phase involving the building of the bridge deck itself.
More information about the project is available on our dedicated webpage.
