KVAERNER KEEPS THE TRAFFIC FLOWING

Press release 11/06/1998 00:00 CET

As part of its £76m A12 Hackney to M11 Link Road - Contract 2 for the Highways Agency, Kvaerner Construction, during a 72-hour rail possession, successfully demolished a temporary road bridge crossing both the LUL central line and the link road at Cathall Road, Leyton.

Early in the project, this temporary bridge was built to divert traffic flows along Cathall Road whilst a new bridge was constructed on the line of the original rail bridge.

The new Cathall bridge is now open to traffic and this marks another successful milestone towards completion of Contract 2 at the end of August this year
