Reconstruction of Arnside Viaduct
-
Description
"....The works comprised the renewal of the entire 51 span superstructure with prefabricated deck girder units (each averaging 24 tonnes in weight), together with the replacement of the jointed track with continuous rails directly fastened to the deck and refurbishment of the abutments. Working on one line at a time, the railway tracks were removed to expose the viaduct decks, which were cut into sections, lifted out by special road/rail machines and taken away. Gantry cranes were then erected which moved along the viaduct lifting the new decks into position....The main works were successfully delivered within a 16 week line closure....." -
