Skanska has overseen the delivery of five huge 'VIBs' (very important beams) that will be used for major sections of a replacement railway bridge over the M6 next year.
The contractor is delivering the £60m project for Network Rail to replace Clifton railway bridge near Penrith after the old bridge reached the end of its life after 60 years.
The new three-span structure will measure 130m in length and weigh approximately 3,000t.
The parts have been pre-fabricated in Glasgow and are ready to be assembled on an adjacent purpose-built work site.
