muddycoffee   10 #230 Posted March 11, 2012 Have noticed over the last few weeks they seem to have been completing the south side of the bridge and the kerb and pavement. There were large holes that were filled in the adjoining subsoil. They then moved the temporary barriers over so they could work on the north side of the bridge. Presumably this will take longer as the cables and pipes are over this side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

muddycoffee   10 #235 Posted March 27, 2012 There are two new looking lights on the Post Office side but none on the Abbeydale Road side, aren't they going to take them down?  I think they are still there because there was a patch of tarmac that was not finished last night. I suppose that this is so cyclists and motorcyclists can see that there is a big step in the road surface. The rest is a smooth as glass.

ShefStealth   10 #236 Posted March 27, 2012 The works are technically still ongoing as Abbeydale Rd hasn't had it's feeder lights installed yet. This appears to be scheduled for this Sunday according to SCC:  https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/roads/travel/driving/roadworks/roadworks.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
beefface   10 #237 Posted June 23, 2012 I know there have been threads on S.F re this subject but can anyone please let me know if that awful galvanised steel monstrosity is the finished product or a temporary arrangement until a magnificent piece of contemporary architectural civil engineering is finally erected.

rabbitsrus1 Â Â 10 #238 Posted June 23, 2012 I agree , I thought they were going to paint it, but so far they haven't. There was a picture of how it was going to look. I am sure the picture showed a green bridge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Paddy   10 #239 Posted June 23, 2012 They are probably waiting for a dry spell to paint it. Might be waiting a long time then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
