I haven't been to the new bridge for quite a while due to one thing and another and the sun was out...

Thanks for that Maverick. As you will see on my second photo "Base South Tower" that the two blue and yellow machines have moved apart a few metres showing a small section of the road surface. Regards Beemer. You don't appreciate the enormity of this project till you walk around Wigg and Spike Islands.

This is an up-date on photo No3 showing that the road former has now been raised to correct position.
