Throwback to last weekend when our engineers completed their third bridge push of 2024, moving this huge section of viaduct across the M42/M6 link roads.
The successful operation was completed ahead of schedule, and the road opened a day earlier than planned 👏.

As those who follow me here already know, this past week I drove in a convoy that delivered ambulances to Ukraine. In this thread, I’d like to share some impressions from the very short time I spent in Lviv.

Just a few shots from lunchtime today of the "dirty" "unfriendly" "boarded up" "unused" "empty market" and "unsafe" Leicester city centre that seems to exist in many people's minds. Come and try it out, you might be surprised...

We've been marking 100 years of road numbers for the last year. Our final post asks... what happens when numbers go wrong? And does it really matter? roads.org.uk/blog/sorry-wron…

Remember the good old days, when this was a car park? Must be around 100 people here now, just lounging around doing nothing. The city's ruined now, I tell you, ruined... #Leicester #jubileesquare

The first completed section of Curzon 3 viaduct👇👀.
Our trains will travel out of the west portal of the 3.5 mile Bromford Tunnel at Washwood Heath and onto a one mile stretch of 5 connected viaducts which are, Duddeston, Curzon 1, Curzon 2, Lawley Middleway and Curzon 3 - which links to Curzon Street station.

⚠️ Warning: upsetting content
This was one of the worst pieces of driving our @TVPRP officer said she had ever seen. Truly awful...

ALT Safe Streets Now Every day, five people are killed on ÚK roads and more than 80 are seriously injured. Parents live in fear for their children as they walk to school or play outside. Communities are cowed by dangerous drivers tearing through residential areas. There is a different way to do things. There are places in the world where no vulnerable road users die under the wheels of a vehicle. The horrific deaths and serious injuries on UK roads are not inevitable. We will gather on Saturday 20th April to demand: PEACE from the threat of dangerous and antisocial driving through our communities SPACE where children can play freely and people can walk, cycle or congregate without fear JU STICE for the victims of road violence, with perpetrators having their licenses revoked. Driving is a privilege not a right. We stand together, across the country. Stand with us, to demand Safe Streets NOW!

Bridge design for vessel collision. A🧵
The main span of the Francois Scott Key Bridge is 1300 ft. It also has 185 ft of clearance, making this a massive bridge.
This type of bridge is considered complex.
Baltimore is in for a long haul before replacement. Here is why.

We removed a 4,000 tonne bridge over the #M42 at the weekend. The 20-strong team carried out the 24/7 operation in 52 hours, ahead of schedule 🎉.
The bridge needed to be demolished so we can build a new twin box structure to carry the HS2 line over the motorway in the future.
