Cow Lane Bridges / Reading Station Upgrade

[EggChaser]

The time lapse video of what they did to the bridges right by Reading Station is interesting:

And now it looks like the first of the Cow Lane Bridges is going to get the same treatment over the festive period - bye bye much loved/loathed bottleneck (once they do the second bridge anyway)

There's even a viewing platform to watch the performance from, take sarnies and a bottle to piss in, you'll be there a while.
