Crossing shapes up as tram bridge progresses
CONSTRUCTION workers were overlooking work on the Hermiston Gait tram bridge over the Glasgow Main Line yesterday.
The tram workers are making good progress on construction in the west of the city, and the bridge near Edinburgh Park station is a key part of the development, allowing trams to cross the Edinburgh-Glasgow railway line.
Workers have begun placing structural beams in the deck of the bridge, a difficult logistical challenge as each of the 25 beams weighs around 70 tonnes.
