Bailey Bridge Replacement Goes into Place.

Engineers put the replacement bridge for the Bailey Bridge in Irvine in place. The Bailey Bridge was based on a World War II design and crossed the River Irvine from the early 70s until it was demolished in the spring of 2009.

 

Note the supports to the left of the picture which will be used to support the western side of the arches that will bear the weight of the bridge until the whole arch is complete.
