morning, construction teams demolished the 1884 Victorian masonry structure, and replaced it with a 660ton twin-track concrete box structure.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The bridge is part of supporting work ahead of the dualling of the A9 between Tomatin and Moy, and has been the culmination of years of meticulous planning and preparation with Network Rail, its contractor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bamnuttall.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BAM Nuttall<\/a>, Atkins Mouchel joint venture and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transport.gov.scot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Transport

used a Self-Propelled Modular Transporter (SPMT) system to carry the structure from the site compound, where it was constructed offline over a 10-week period, before manoeuvring the massive 660-ton structure several hundred meters along the B1954 and sliding it to its final position.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Two 750-ton cranes then lifted seven concrete wingwalls, which were also constructed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/quality-site-inspections\/96517\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on

new bridge will strengthen, safeguard, and futureproof the route for the long-term including dealing with the weight and volume of traffic which passes over it,\u00a0and accommodating any future double-tracking of the line should that be proposed in the future.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Safeguarding and improving connectivity on Scotland\u2019s Highland Mainline\u2019<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Minister for transport, Mr Graeme Dey, commented:\u00a0\u201cThe success of the\u00a0Lynebeg\u00a0rail bridge installation marks a significant milestone for the A9 Dualling:\u00a0Tomatin\u00a0to Moy project, as the first tangible improvement to the transport infrastructure as part of the project\u2019s advance works.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cNot only is this new structure safeguarding and improving connectivity on Scotland\u2019s Highland Mainline,\u00a0these works will\u00a0help to deliver the ongoing A9 Dualling programme and will enhance the local infrastructure for the benefit of the surrounding communities.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI would also like to thank all passengers whose travel plans were affected by these works and the local community for their patience during the construction of the new bridge.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Working \u2018against the clock\u2019<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Billy McKay, Network Rail\u2019s programme manager for the\u00a0Lynebeg\u00a0bridge replacement works, said: \u201cWe are delighted that the work to replace the bridge at\u00a0Lynebeg\u00a0was completed successfully and the railway re-opened to traffic as planned \u2013 despite terrible weather conditions and the impact of Storm Arwen.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe installation was complex due to requirement to remove the existing railway infrastructure including cabling, track and the embankment, before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/shift-to-net-zero-concrete\/100286\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">concrete bridge<\/a> could be pushed into its final position.\u00a0 And all against the clock due to the need to reinstate and re-open the line to traffic at the end of the possession.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cAs well as upgrading the railway bridge, the team is delighted to have played a part in supporting the future dualling of the A9\u201c.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Works will continue on site for several weeks to complete the new structure, including cladding the concrete wing walls with the recovered stone from the original stone arch bridge which was constructed as part of the Highland Mainline in 1884.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Network Rail has successfully replaced the bridge over the railway
