30 July (Part 3) - Crossrail accelerates
Abbey
Wood’s Crossrail developments are about to enter a dramatic new phase.
The line will be closed for seven weekends out of eight, there is a lot going on.
The utility diversion in Gayton
and Felixstowe Roads
should be completed within the next couple of weeks clearing the way for
construction of the new station.
A new Bostall Manorway footbridge is due to be installed
on 23rd August (see below), prefabricated and the job should be done in a day.
The old bridge will remain in place until the new one is ready for use.
The new North Kent line platform is getting longer by the day.
Further down the track
the connection
to the new Plumstead sidings is very nearly made.
