Mace has lifted a colossal 216t, two-storey new link bridge into place at Manchester Airport’s Terminal Two.

The bridge was constructed using more than 270 pieces of steel, comprising metal decking and 150mm concrete slab flooring. It was pre-assembled on the airfield over three months and then moved into its final place last week using a giant self-propelled motorised unit. The process took eight hours.
