Tollerton

A large Ainscough scissor crane by Warehill Lane road overbridge work site between Tollerton and the A19 road. A new bridge has been installed, possibly to give W10 gauge clearance on the ECML slow lines, as part of a series of bridge replacement works on five consecutive bridges. Work began initially at both Station Lane, Shipton (by Beningbrough) and Forest Lane, Alne. As well as replacement of this bridge, work is currently being carried out at Chapmans Lane, next bridge south towards Shipton, with work yet to start on the final bridge at Station Road, Tollerton. Each bridge replacement requires a near four month road closure, hence a staggered pattern of work to maintain close to hand diversion routes around the work area.
