What we are doing
As we move into the main construction phases for the bridges and viaducts in the areas of Great Missenden and Wendover, we need to start bringing in precast steel and concrete.
To reduce our impact on the local area, many aspects of these bridges and viaducts are being manufactured offsite.
For Wendover Dean Viaduct, we will be receiving steel beams. Some of these beams are up to 30m in length (similar in length to three buses). Deliveries of this size are classed as abnormal loads.
Now that Florence and Cecilia have successfully completed their 16 kilometres journeys at the North Portal, we will begin dismantling the Tunnel Boring machines in sections and transporting them off site via HGVs. This will also require some abnormal load movements which will take place April – August 2024. These abnormal load movements will not be using our designated lorry routes, the specified route agreed with the local highways authorities will enable the operation of these movements to be carried out safely.
