All quiet today with absolutely nothing going on. Very little to report as all the focus of the work over Christmas was inaccessible. The next big development will be the track laying in February. It is now just over 25 weeks to commissioning if all goes well. However I did take two pictures while I was there. First shows some concrete ramps that have been installed next to the embankment retaining wall. I wonder if these will form part of a permanent access to the viaduct for maintenence.
Regarding the top photo, you are completely right. The concrete walkway will form the new permanent access walkway. Although the photo does not show it, there are also small targets on the retaining wall that will be used to monitor any movement as part of the regular maintenance of the embankment. Information gathered following an official site visit in December.
