We were shown the new bridge and it was explained to us how they are going to lift, then drive the bridge, into place over Christmas. They will then replace the road surface and create the footpath and cycle way. We were not expecting the footpath and cycle way to be in place so quickly (although only under one bridge) and the benefit will be immediate as there is no footpath under this bridge at the moment.
The work that is being put into this project is immense and I shall try to watch the new bridge being driven into place on Boxing Day. Further information on the road closures and viewing platform can been read in my other post about the project here.
Cllr Chris Maskell, and former Battle cllr and Redlands candidate Tony Jones fought hard for this project which will be of great benefit to the residents of Battle ward.
Below is a short video on the Cow Lane project which was shot today:
