The five-day operation saw the new 200-tonne bridge in Osmondthorpe Lane, Leeds, moved into position and installed through a collaborative effort among all partners in the TRU East Alliance. It brings customers one step closer to faster, greener and more reliable journeys between Manchester and York. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bridge, designed by SYSTRA specialists, weighs 200 tonnes and was moved into position in one piece by a self-propelled modular transport (SPMT) vehicle. Once in place, new tracks and more than 270 tonnes of ballast were laid, before the railway was handed back \u2013 on time \u2013 for passenger services to resume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
