Cllr Roy Gerstner – Community Activist

As usual when there are issues at Kings Dyke Railway Crossing and with The B1040 Thorney Road closed – ALL traffic comes along Church Street & Ramsey Road….Busy is an understatement – But it coped, mainly because the parked traffic acts as a calming system.

At one stage 4 Thory lorries and 3 other HGV’s on this small road at the same time….

#1 Ponce Harbour Florida, #2 Pyraminds Eygpt and todays memory is The Island of Hoy in The Orkney Islands, what an intrepid road-trip by Motorbike.
Whittlesey/Perth/John-O-Groats/Thurso – Ferry to Stromness -Ferry to Hoy – Trek over farside of Island…..Returned same route… Year 1991 – Younger and Slimmer !

A message from Cllr Steve Count, Leader of Cambridgeshire County Council, said:
You may have seen the excellent news about how much King’s Dyke is investing into the local economy, in case you missed it please view it here

 As Cllr Chris Boden mentioned in the last update, the focus on site is the two main structures: the bridge and the underpass.
You may recall that 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. There will be 12 columns in total (right picture) and the construction of steel reinforcement, which will combine with the concrete to provide additional strength (commonly known as reinforced concrete), is underway to the south of the railway.

For the underpass, the steel reinforcement is close to being completed and further formwork, which creates a temporary mould to allow concrete to be poured and set, is due to be installed next week.
I’m pleased to say Jones Bros has pulled together some more impressive drone footage and a picture below. You can really see how well the work is progressing – you can watch it here

 Stay safe everyone and remember to stay at home.
