Embankment report

Nothing of interest happened on Sunday morning during the road closure.  It appeared to be some minor bridge maintenance work.  I took the overgrown path beside the Cambridge line to the point where the new embankment meets the existing line.  Just a few pictures to show the progress on this side of construction site.

Cambridge line to the right, new embankment to the left with a thin soil capping in place.

Accommodation bridge.  Different material is being used to construct the embankment immediately either side.  Chalk quarry is in the background.

 Shot from slightly further away.

 Turning slightly to the left, the embankment is pretty much up to its finished height.  Needs final profiling and capping.

 And further round almost to the end of Wilbury Way.  More to do on the extreme left.
