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.

 

Part of the arches which will support the bridge can be seen in this photo supported by two towers until the other ends of the arches are put into position.
