Lancaster, Lancashire, Großbritannien, 8. Juni 2015. 'Träger & Kolommnen über den Fluss Lune' Heysham bis M6 Link Road Bridge Works. Spannweiten & Rungen für die Heysham Motrorway-Verbindung. Fahrer, die die M6 durch Nord-Lancashire nutzen, werden darauf hingewiesen, dass das Heysham Link-Projekt des Landkreises Lancashire mit £124 Millionen eine neue Phase erreicht hat, die Auswirkungen auf Autobahnnutzer haben könnte. Die neue Straße ist eine 4,8 km lange zweispurige Straße, die die Halbinsel Heysham und Morecambe mit der Anschlussstelle 34 der M6 verbindet, einer vollständig renovierten Kreuzung mit neuen Zufahrtsstraßen, die im Sommer 2016 eröffnet werden.

The new Lune West Bridge over the River Lune is perhaps the most dramatic of the 13 structures that will be built along the length of the new Heysham to M6 Link Road. The 211-metre four-span bridge will eventually contain more than 2300 tonnes of steelwork with approximately 55, 000 bolts needed to secure the sections. The steel beams supplied by Cleveland Bridge UK Ltd (CBUK) are to lifted into place using one of the UK’s largest mobile cranes, a 1200-tonne Gottwald AK-680-3. "This structure is technically challenging, in both the complexity of the steelwork element and the environment within which the works are being carried out" said CBUK Project Manager, Dominic Charlton. "In order to minimise working at height activities, the scheme developed by CBUK requires the steelwork to be sub-assembled into large lift modules at ground level, weighing up to 350 tonnes. From the north side of the River Lune four single girder modules are sub-assembled and erected, and from the south side of the river there are six paired girder modules. The key benefit of this setup is that there is only a requirement for one main crane move, from the north side to the south". Once sub-assembled, the first four main girders of the structure measure 71.6 metres long by 1.5 metres wide and 4.1 metres high, weighing approximately 160 tonnes each. These sections have been lifted into position from the north bank of the River Lune before the crane is de-rigged and repositioned on the south side of the river to install the remaining sections and girders. “We know there is lots of interest in the Lune West Bridge as it marks a significant milestone in the delivery of the scheme”. Said Costain’s Community Relations Officer, Tom Horton. The project involves a full reconfiguration of an existing motorway junction, 4.8km of dual carriageway, 4.5km of new slip-roads together with 12 major structures including a 200m-span crossing of the River Lune.
