Just had time for a visit to the west side of the work site. The short section of missing embankment linking the main line to the start of the viaduct appears to be virtually finished. Two more sections of viaduct heve been lifted into place, leaving four unbridged sections. The shuttering is starting to come off the edges of the viaduct revealing the finished look.
Looking north from the River Hiz bridge, the new retaining wall with a digger on top adjacent to the viaduct. You can just make out the new sections of viaduct on the left.
Same wall from the scrapyard entrance.
Turning round and looking north, the three remaining piers without the viaduct with the latest sections behind.
New sections from the other side of the scrapyard.
The last two piers to be constructed finished awaiting the viaduct. An East Coast service heads north on the main line.
The two new sections looking south.
This shot shows the remaining gap waiting to be bridged.
Moving further north, the viaduct curves round to meet the main line.
Moving up onto the higher ground, you can make out the new sections of viaduct through gap in the piers
Final picture shows the section over the east coast main line with a First Capital Connect service heading north. The shuttering and walkways have gone. Safety fencing has been installed. I realise now that the jutting out sections are not refuges but there to take the overhead staunchions. They do not appear on the other side.
