What we are doing

LATEST UPDATE

You may be aware that the new railway line will cross over the West Coast Main Line just south of Berkswell Railway Station. BBV have been building an overbridge in the area known as Carol Green from our construction compound located off Truggist Lane. Progress on the bridge is limited by the constraints of working near an operational railway line and there are some works that can only be completed when the railway is closed overnight.

On 11 May, to schedule, we reached our latest milestone which was to lift 83 beams on to the bridge structure.

We now intend to utilise the Saturday night railway closures to pour the bridge deck and install the parapets. This will require site activity on Saturday nights up until the 26 October. This will include vehicle movements, warning alarms and site lighting. Noise levels will be monitored.Please note, that there will not be site activity every Saturday night as often Network Rail will require possession of the railway to undertake operational work.
