Heaton Park Road Bridge, Newcastle-upon- Tyne
Heaton Park Road Bridge, Newcastle-upon- Tyne
A construction progress photo taken in April 1989.
The image shows the installation of a temporary Bailey bridge over the east side of Heaton Park Road bridge from which the existing utility services could be suspended and supported during the jacking up of the road bridge.
The construction works were required to raise the bridge to enable the installation of the overhead electrification cables for the railway tracks located under the bridge, and to maintain the required safety envelope (safety clearances) for railway bridges and tunnels.
Molineux Court can be seen in the background of the image.
