Great video of a steel bridge being installed in Slough over the GWR train line.

The 96m bridge is the longest cantilevered bridge launch and slide in the UK. The 1,000 tonne bridge was designed by Peter Brett Associates and fabricated by Mabey Bridge; both SCI members. The bridge was erected 400m from the final crossing position and slid into position using 6 modular transporters during a 4-hour, night time window.
