NCN51 diversion further diverted by preparations for Chisholm Trail underpass. Care needed eastbound where the new alignment mounts the unsatisfactory dropped kerb.
Preparations for Chisholm Trail underpass involve diversion of the temporary NCN51 route. Narrow, but with a 'passing place' part way along.
Looks like evidence of refreshed survey work for alignment of Chisholm Trail at north side of the underpass
At left of shot, two cones and some earthwork which seem to mark the alignment of the south end of the Chisholm Trail underpass Some of the concrete casts are marked with things like NW1 which presumably indicate their placement within ... [more]
Now (02/01/21) fewer culvert components in the compound - but not yet confirmed where the others have gone
Dropped kerb at Barnwell Meadow where Chisholm Trail will meet Newmarket Road. Significant remaining upstand renders it dangerous for oblique approach.
New dropped kerb at Barnwell Meadow where the Chisholm Trail will meet Newmarket Road. It's not even close to 'flush', and potentially very dangerous for any oblique approach from the on-road painted cycle lane.
Still a lot of bits of crane and counterweight on site after installation of Chisholm Trail river bridge
As well as the bearing and sliders previously identified, the Chisholm Trail river bridge appears also to rest - at least for the moment - on a pair of adjustable jacks at each end.
It seems to be quite random whether the infill triangles on the Chisholm Trail river bridge have 2, 3, or 4 fastenings.
New sheet piling now encloses quite a big area, though whether it's the location of the culvert for ncn51 to cross the brook is still not clear.
It is now clear, I think, that the mysterious exposed re-bar on the abutments is to do with interfacing the approach ramp with the bridge surface.
Work in the north compound on Tue 10/11/20 is all to do with shipping out the parts of the big crane, but some lucky chaps have already walked on the new Chisholm Trail river bridge.
The elegance of the Abbey Chesterton Bridge on the Chisholm Trail emerges from the engineering works.
The Abbey Chesterton Bridge in situ at last. There were lots of people walking around today on Stourbridge Common and Ditton Meadows - exercising in the mild November air and many of them had come to look at the bridge and the cranes.
The newly sited Abbey-Chesterton Bridge - alongside the railway bridge. The photo also shows the set of points, a.k.a.turnout, which southbound (towards the camera) trains use to switch tracks after leaving Cambridge North station.
Abbey-Chesterton bridge craning into place. At this moment the engineers were waiting for the all-clear from Network Rail to confirm that the bridge could be moved into place as it is quite close to their bridge. I think power to the ove ... [more]
Building work in progress on the Barnwell cafe site that is also the location of the Chisholm Trail underpass. Subsequently believed to be for the underpass, not for the cafe building.
New scaffolding, presumably for access to the expansion bearing as the Chisholm Trail river bridge is installed.
Renewed sheet piling to facilitate culvert for ncn51 to cross the brook near the eastern end of the new jetty
Working on the sheet piling that will facilitate the installation of a culvert for ncn51 to cross the realigned brook.
Preparations for the sheet piling that will facilitate installation of a culvert for ncn51 to cross the realigned brook
The three load-bearing blocks, and how they relate to the curved sides, of the Chisholm Trail river bridge.
Neat cut in the path isn't new - it was already visible in July, maybe earlier - but it's a bit more noticeable now. I don't think it's the location of the old cattlegrid - that was at the end of the boardwalk.
Something has been built, and covered in plastic sheet, behind the row of piles - but it's not one of the 8 culvert sections which are still waiting in the compound.
Chunky timber (?) sections occupying a plausible location for a culvert for realigned brook under ncn51
Taller piles, and the hole they contain is beginning to look big enough for a culvert on the new brook alignment. Meanwhile, detailed (cosmetic?) brickwork at the end of the jetty.
No, not digging a hole: material going from the heap and into the hole beyond it. More prep for embankment?
Somewhere in there, I think, is the part of the brook that must be realigned to make room for the embankment towards the Chisholm Trail river bridge
Fresh excavation of river bank where ncn51 jetty will rejoin - and lots of fresh material ready to be put somewhere.
