The New Cross Gate flyover for London Overground went in last weekend, with no hitches.
The 75m long steel truss bridge with a total weight of around 1200 tonnes (including the concrete deck and steelwork) spans four mainline tracks and will carry the East London line towards London.
Due to heavy load, the space available and nature of the site, using a crane was not practical so the bridge was moved using self-propelled mobile transporters. These are multi-wheeled units that spread heavy loads between numerous axles and roll structures into place.
Cheers....
