Pontoon carries track diversion for HS2 viaduct works
The track on the East side of the Grand Union Canal here is used by vehicles, particularly anglers using the lakes, and by walkers and cyclists. To divert it while HS2 Colne Valley viaduct piers are built there is an elaborate diversion onto a pontoon, with marked pedestrian, cycle and vehicle tracks, and traffic lights for vehicles.
