Bridge Gone!

Had a look at the Ella Street bridge removal today. Part of the Hull Docks Branch upgrade, to provide more than 20 paths in and out of the docks for rail freight.

The old bridge, under the line, has been completely filled in. And it looks like many of the old bridges are being removed or reinforced. Which isn't surprising, when the new trains are transporting upwards of 20,000 tonnes of coal out of the docks.

Should be all finished by May/June next year, by which point there'll be more freight on the tracks, and less on the roads. Which can only be a good thing :-D
