Skanska ready to roll in Stechford’s new rail bridge

Skanska ready to roll in Stechford’s new rail bridge


The 92-metre-long bridge in Stechford is being built as part of an £85m project to enable planned HS2 tracks to pass underneath existing Network Rail lines.

Last weekend, over the May Day bank holiday, an old railway viaduct on the Stechford to Aston freight line above was demolished ready for the new structure to be driven into place this coming weekend (7-8th May).

The new 2,600-tonne structure, known as the SAS 13 bridge, has been assembled offline by contractor Skanska over the last 22 months in a compound alongside existing railway lines.

This weekend 18 self-propelled modular transporters (SPMT) will carry the bridge into place before tracks are re-laid. Trains are expected to start running again on Monday 23rd May.

A series of short video clips have been produced by Skanska and Network Rail to show work to date and to illustrate the installation method.

NuGen Properties built an extension to the rear of my property, replacing the old conservatory. I am so pleased I chose this company. From the initial quotation, through the build and after they were professional, polite & well mannered. They kept the site tidy throughout the build and kept me informed of each stage as it happened. The work was finished to a good standard and I have had nothing but compliments on their work. I am already planning for them to come back and do some more work for me in a few months. I would 100% recommend them.
