PHOTOS show installation of major construction project in Worcester - the installation of Carrington Bridge.
Work continues today on the installation of Carrington Bridge. The second beam will be lifted into place.
The new bridge runs parallel to the existing A4440 and has been installed with the road fully open.
The work is part of the fourth and final phase of the scheme to fully dual the A4440 Southern Link Road from Junction 7 of the M5 to the Powick roundabout.
The frame that will form the main bridge will be constructed in sections onsite before being lifted into place over a number of weeks.
The river between Upton and Diglis will be closed to river traffic for safety reasons whilst the cranes are in use.
The council said the work will likely be affected if flooding hits the county again.
Work has already taken place with the two huge concrete bridge piers and two supports - which the steel span will sit on - put in place earlier this year.
