The viaduct has been built right up to the roadside and the 1200t bridge has been constructed on top. The red stack is a Mammoet jacking tower.

The SPMT's will have a Jacking tower on them, will pick up the bridge and travel across Borough high st. The other end of the bridge will run on the rails you can see on top of the green girders of the new viaduct. One it has traveled across the back end of the bridge will be in line with the jacking tower in the previous picture, the 2 jacking towers will lower the bridge down onto the pillers

At the end of the day we had the 3 x 14 axle line SPMT's, tomorrow they'll be connected side by side and the then i'll be building up the Jacking tower, some of the parts of which have arrived along with some heavy duties steel matts to spread the massive weight of the bridge over the deck as much as possible.
