Thanks.looking good. It looks as if the work to remove the temporary staging and eventually the haul road has started.

Oh i say well well well the first acrilic panel in postion 🎉🎉, this must be a test piece to see how it looks??, lovely 🌹

[@DaveFiggley]

Well spotted, SIMONE, dear. If I was a bird happiily flapping along, minding my own business, I'd probably smack into that and end up dazed and confused. Yeah, must be an experimental piece to see how it looks from the road.

[@SIMONC256]

@@DaveFiggley yes it could be, looks like it's first tooth, might have a look at it tomorrow and see how it's attached for it's dental records

Hi …I replied to your message but YT had a glitch and lost everything so to repeat..I meant to say I think they’re closing Moorhall Road soon probably to kill 2 birds with one stone.. to fix both the parapet and acoustic panels.👍👍

The design of this bridge is so cool...kinda like when you toss a rock on the surface of the water and it bounces.

[@mattsandilands6380]

Just as it’s supposed to.

@@mattsandilands6380 I don't live in the UK so I didn't know what this design was supposed to mimic, but thanks anyway.

[@stevetony6876]

I thjnk the viaduct over the lakes can be seen that way, in fact that’s what the designer had in mind if I recall correctly! Thanks for watching. It’s appreciated.👍

[@DaveFiggley]

Interesting footage as ever, QM. At 1:01 we can see where the Colne was subtly realligned to make way for pier number whatever.

[@RiversideEstate-jj2hr]

That's a big kit of bits to be used as a jetty somewhere else I wonder...?...

[@Carlos-im3hn]

Missing Dominique.

[@stevetony6876]

Yes Dominique will be stepping down shortly and apparently she’s requested ‘My way’ by Sinatra to go out on! 🥲👍👍
