The path is still open and the access to the rear of Platform 1 is via the “hut” which has had the gate line moved 90 degrees. The first steelwork was installed in March 2020 at the start of the first lockdown.

No the Kimpton Road entrance is very much still open - the access for the public has been moved about 4 or 5 times as the bridge in the Station was constructed and installed - it took a bit of doing but we even kept the access open when the bridge was slide in with the station open and live

I did an update for the Luton Parkway Project (the bit in the Station that connects to the DART ) the other three parts are on my blog www.dbmbridges2.com

I took the photo below the other day from the NWR bridge walkway London side above Platform 1. The grey link bridge in the post above - does very literally connect the two bridges - slotting in the gap between the new building and station - it is currently being trial assembled and will be...

Hopefully once fully open the bridge will provide a great viewing platform - with over 80 glass panels on the bridge looking up and down the fasts and slow lines

I have put on a link to some photos of the project work in the Station - also morelinks to the project on my blog dbmbridges2.com 1610668712 I have attached the link to another few progress videos for the Luton Parkway Project. Hopefully they will be interesting

I didn't know it was called priory bridge - i was Network Rail SPM on the refurbishment and long timber replacement in 2013 carried out by Story Rail- it was called Dairycoats. I have attached a photo (not very good one) of a Beaver Tamper running over the bridge. I actually built a scale...

I have worked on a good few bridges crossing four tracks over the years - I have a couple of websites that show examples - www.dbmbridges.com and www.dbmbridges2.com Project 8 Micklefield - this is a 36m span concrete pre-stressed beams carries the A1M over the Leeds - Hull & Leeds - York...

Work is happening on the structures - NWR CP5 contractors are looking at these. I think the Farm access bridge is possibly Earwig Lane :wink: -

Yes the foam concrete was used to under fill the existing structure the girders and brick jack arch structure were buried under the embankment. I did a similar one in near Stockton (project 38) www.dbmbridges.com it shows the similar structure - being removed after it had been previously under...

A few years ago as i worked on the new bridge at Staveley and demolished the old bridge BAC2 Bridge 5 Barrow Hill - http://www.dbmbridges.com/Project-24-Barrow-Hill-Demolition.php Looks like the track has now all been removed - when we built the new bridge - we had to take a T2 - even with...

It's really difficult to give a cost for a structure as it really does depend on so many variables. A lot of these have already been touched on by others previously. Land both permanent land take for the abutments and the approach roads + temporary for compounds and building the bridge -...

Really Fantastic - time lapse video showing the bridge being driven in with SPMT's. I was part of the team did the bridge on the A46 - a very similar project - http://www.dbmbridges.com/Project-3-Bingham-Railway-Bridge.php It's interesting that it seems to be called a bridge slide on the...

Hi Deltic08 - to answer your question it was a reinforced concrete Flat slab deck cast on top of the main concrete beams - The reason it was blown up was due to the Post Tension System to take all the stressing out of the structure in one movement. We had a worry that If you cut a tendon that...

Thanks for all the links - really fantastic projects. I should have remembered the selly oak project it was done the times as we did Bingham A46. I actually moved to the Birse offices that did that one but didn't get involved - I had forgotten it was so big. The demolition with explosives...
