Description
Description | The project involved dismantling, demolishing, and replacing the Greek Street railway bridge and the landmark roundabout above it in Stockport. The bridge carries traffic over the West Coast mainline, the busiest mixed-use rail line in Europe, next to Stockport station. The new bridge was constructed from 51 parts, with complex logistics including police escorts for large sections and a three-week railway line closure. The project also included rerouting utilities, building new pedestrian routes, and future-proofing the bridge for potential tram-train options as part of the Metrolink vision. |
