Thanks go out to the Carillion project manager for inviting me on to site. Due to the proximity of the bridge to Exeter Airport a colleague of mine has put in allot of work ‘Safeguarding’ the entire bridge project in accordance with CAA regulations.
The bridge itself was lifted into place on Sunday 13th February after strong winds prevented the lift taking place on Saturday 12th February.
These pictures were taken on Saturday 19th February were the approach fillets were being lifted into position. The M5 was closed for the second weekend in a row and lifting work started around 2000hrs.
The construction of Redhayes Bridge, a landmark pedestrian and cycle bridge spanning the M5, is one of the first steps in the development of the Exeter Science Park infrastructure.
Evolved from a study looking at Green Infrastructure in Exeter and East Devon, the 100 metre single span arch bridge is a key development for the Exeter and East Devon New Growth Point, and marks a massive investment in the future growth of the local economy.
The pedestrian and cycle bridge is an excellent example of how green travel routes can be built into major developments and reduce the need to travel by car. The cycle link provided by the new bridge also connects into Exeter's cycling network, which stretches throughout the city and across the growth area.
Construction is now underway on the bridge, and the project is scheduled for completion in March 2011.
The Redhayes bridge project has been run by Carillion but involved many other parties and contractors; such as Exeter Airport, The Highways Agency, Devon and Cornwall Police, Parsons Brinckerhoff and Sarens.

The light and bridge look nice spanning this slot of the river through Olmstead Island. I wish the people on the bridge had stopped sooner ... they are hard to see in this view, but they held still enjoying the view from the bridge level.

A Denver & Rio Grande freight rumbles slowly across the 408 ft. long, deck-plate girder bridge spanning Cascade Creek at Milepost 319.95, as heads toward the yards at Chama, NM, via Cumbres Pass. The power today consists of a T-12, 10-wheeler #167, and a K-27 Mikado #463. It's an odd combination for sure, but photographic evidence circa 1930 suggests that some of the ancient T-12s, which were intended for passenger service, did occasionally work freights, late in their careers.
This image was captured during an October 2024 photo shoot on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, which featured the sole operable survivor of the T-12 class, #168, lettered as her long-lost sister #167. This was done to match a 1930 photo showing a lash-up just like this one, with 167 leading. For this re-creation, both engines were lettered in the livery that the D&RGW was using in that timeframe. The conversion of the 168 to the 167 was literally done overnight by crews from the Cumbres & Toltec and Lerro Photography, which organized this event.
Spanning the Thames River, the pair of steel truss bridges are together the longest and largest in Connecticut. The first structure was completed in 1943 and its mate in 1973.

Málaga's history spans around 2,800 years, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe. The city was founded around the 8th century BC by seafaring Phoenicians, who called the city Malaka.
From the 6th century BC, the city was under the hegemony of ancient Carthage and from the Second Punic War (218 BC) under Roman rule. The city experienced an economic boom thanks to the production of garum.
The Migration Period meant eventful years for Málaga. After the Vandals and the Alans, Visigoths and Eastern Romans fought for control. In 571, the city was briefly occupied by troops of the Visigothic king Leovigild, but it was not until around 616 that the Eastern Romans finally handed the city over to the Visigoths.
The Moors conquered Málaga in 711 and the city gained importance in the 11th century when the Hammudids established one of their residences here. In 1053, the King of Granada had the last Hammudid caliph poisoned and conquered the city. After the conquest by the Catholic Monarchs in the course of the Reconquista in 1487, "reforms" began to transform the city into a Christian settlement. In Muslim times, the Jewish quarter was located in the eastern part of the city. In the 11th century, the city took in numerous Jews who had fled from the intolerant Berbers in Córdoba. In the middle of the 11th century, around 200 Jews lived in Málaga out of a population of around 20,000. After the city was conquered by Castile in 1487, all of Malaga's Jews were taken prisoner. Around 1490 it was decided that the city should be repopulated by Christians. Jews and Muslims had to leave Málaga within 15 days.
The Cathedral of Málaga was built by the Christian conquerors from 1528 over a mosque.
As a result of the 254-year construction phase up to 1782, the church consists of a mixture of different styles. The Renaissance style is predominant, but it also has Gothic, Baroque and Neoclassical elements. To defray the enormous expenses of the work, the Crown imposed a tax on the ships that called in Málaga.
Although two towers were planned in the original plans, only one was later completed due to a lack of funds, which gave the cathedral its popular name "La Manquita" ("little one-armed lady"). The roof was not completed either, which means that tourists can now take a rooftop tour.
A Great Blue Heron (Andea herodias) in a local farmers field hunting for summer. We stopped on the road and I guess it didn't like our presence, even though we were a distance away. It started to leave and then decided to stay after this great wing display!

It's been a year (?) since I did monotone pictures. Colours are noisy and distracting. They make us lose the focus sometimes. Monotone pics are calm and peaceful to me this way.
I wonder why there is a designer who would create a broken Ferris Wheel. It can't be used at all. Right? But I appreciated that he has made it. It made me think of what stories had taken place in each tiny carriage while it spanned.
A place full of memories.
(Actually how many of us really click the music link included?)

A picture of the old Bahia Honda Bridge. Taken while driving northbound on the new bridge in the lower keys. The Bahia Honda Rail Bridge is a derelict railroad bridge in the lower Florida Keys connecting Bahia Honda Key with Spanish Harbor Key. Originally part of the Overseas Railway, the state of Florida purchased it from the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) after the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane and converted it for automobile use as part of the Overseas Highway in 1938. After a replacement Bahia Honda Bridge was opened in 1972, two spans of the bridge were removed to accommodate boat trafficThe Bahia Honda railroad bridge was originally built by Henry Flagler as part of the FEC's Overseas Railroad. Opened in 1912, Flagler funded the railway construction between Miami and Key West using his own personal funds The Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 destroyed much of the line, and FEC sought abandonment. It was purchased by the state of Florida and converted for highway use in 1938 Rather than rebuilding the bridge, the top of the structure was redecked for use as the Overseas Highway (the existing deck inside the truss was too narrow for vehicular traffic).
A new four-lane bridge was built in 1980, a few hundred yards north of the old bridge, replacing the former route of U.S. 1. The bridge provides a scenic overview of the area for tourists. Two of the truss spans have been removed in order to facilitate boat traffic, as the new bridge has an increased span height. The original bridge has fallen into a state of disrepair; signs have been posted on the bridge warning boat traffic to watch for falling debris, but all of the sections have remained standing (not counting the two that were removed). The easternmost section remains open to pedestrian traffic and is maintained by Bahia Honda State Park
Melbourne city fringe is at the background of this image. Two structures built in the late 1800s that are still standing today are the Princes bridge which is seen at the foreground and the spires structure at the far left is the St Paul Cathedral. They are among the many tourist attractions in Melbourne city.
PRINCES BRIDGE -
Vhd.heritagecouncil.vic.gov.au: "Princes Bridge was designed by Jenkins, D'Ebro and Grainger and constructed in 1886-88 by David Munro. The bridge, completed in 1888, was the third bridge across the Yarra at that location. The first two bridges had been built in 1845 (timber) and 1850 (stone) in response to the need for a permanent river crossing into the city. The earlier bridge was named after the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, and the name has survived through to the current bridge. Princes Bridge is a three span curved iron plate girder bridge with coursed rock-face bluestone block-work piers, abutments and wing walls."
ST PAUL CATHEDRAL -
Cathedral.org.au: "The Cathedral’s foundation stone was laid in 1880, and work continued for eleven years, leading to the consecration of St Paul’s Cathedral on 22 January 1891.The construction of the three spires did not begin until 1926, to a revised design of John Barr of Sydney rather than the original design of an octagonal central tower and gable west end towers of Butterfield. The central spire is the second highest in the Anglican Communion, after Salisbury Cathedral."
