Stockport Interchange Bridge Installation Pt. 1

As part of an ongoing project for Willmott Dixon, TFGM and Stockport Council, we’re documenting the installation of a huge 90 tonne bridge at the new Stockport Interchange. The first phase was a night time delivery of the two bridge sections, which will be welded together and lifted into place over the coming weeks.

Despite the size of the thing, an unexpected early departure from the manufacturer’s site meant our biggest challenge was locating the bridge on its journey, but a beady-eyed Natalia and Victor eventually caught up with it in time to get some great in-transit shots, while Callum picked up the site preparations and road closures back in Stockport.

There were a few weary eyelids wrapping in the early hours of the morning but it was great to be part of such a major event for the town and we’re excited for the next phase!

Look out for more of the bridge delivery in the next few weeks.
