A 91-metre bridge designed to carry HS2 over the existing West Coast Main Line near Kenilworth is taking shape, following the successful installation of 83 giant concrete beams.
Installed using a 500-tonne crawler crane, the horizontal beams collectively form the deck of the bridge structure that will eventually be used as part of the high-speed rail line.
Once operational, the bridge structure and its embankments will take the new HS2 railway diagonally over the existing West Coast Main Line.
Route-wide, HS2 is building more than 500 bridging structures – including over 50 major viaducts which will stretch for a combined total of 15 kilometres (9 miles) across valleys, rivers, roads and flood plains.
As construction continues at pace between the West Midlands and London, HS2 now supports more than 31,000 jobs. When complete, Britain’s new high-speed railway will create quicker and more reliable journeys, driving economic growth while crucially freeing up space for more local trains on the most congested part of the existing West Coast Main Line.
