KD X Update ….

A message from local member and leader at Fenland District Council, Cllr Chris Boden:

I’m pleased to say the Jones Bros team are back after Christmas and work on site continues to progress well, particularly on the two main structures: the bridge and the underpass.

The steel reinforcement for the underpass’ 5m high walls is underway (left picture) and once completed, attention will turn to the concrete pour.

Part of the bridge structure is the abutment, which connects the deck of the bridge with the ground and also supports the structure’s weight.

As part of the work on the railway bridge’s southern abutment, pile caps (right picture), which form part of the foundations have been backfilled.
The site team is now carrying out preparation works for constructing the abutment’s columns.

With a further national lockdown, please remember to stay at home, protect the NHS and save lives.
Stay safe everyone.
Chris
