A38 Dobwalls Bypass - July 2007 - Havett Hill
Signs appeared on Havett Hill saying the road was to be closed for 3 days between 30th July and 1st August. Travelling to work on Tuesday morning we saw 2 low loaders parked on the hill, each carrying a 49m long steel bridge beam.
)
)
Above the hedgeline a large yellow crane towered over the village. Costing some £2.5m this crane is only 3 weeks old.
)
In the evening the low loaders were next to the crane.
)
)
The 15 ton weights have been added to the crane and the leg supports extended.
)
)
All ready for the girders to be lowered into place tomorrow.
)
)
)
The crane's jib is extended.
)
)
)
The beams are pre drilled so the cross struts can be easily bolted into place.
)
)
The bridge supports are in place and the cross struts are in piles ready to be fitted onto the girders.
