Ste, I have seen them abseil on the support cables when wrapping with Denso tape but not other wise.During the week you can not cycle across but a free bus is available for bike and riders but you can ride across at weekends. Beemer.

Great to see you are still photographing the on going works Beemer, having been close to the gatehouse on the Runcorn side a couple of times with work you can definitely see its quite a task that Balvac are undertaking, before the work starts on the road on the bridge.

A few photos of the ongoing work on the Runcorn (Silver Jubilee) Bridge. Painting on the Runcorn side appears to have been completed with the sheeting removed and the scaffolding being moved towards the centre section. Sand blasting was heard insides the sheets on the Widnes side.

Work on the old bridge and the new one. Work on the old one, Silver jubilee bridge is very slow indeed as it should have re-opened after 12 months but could be another 12 at least.

Sand blasting continues inside this "tent" on the Runcorn side.

Does Mavis get wet when the tide comes in?

[Beemer]

I think it drove over the sand to the shore before the tide turned.
