20080302 - Strengthening

view map

The bridge between Middleham and Leyburn is closed for six weeks for strengthening works. It's about 2 miles from Middleham to Leyburn, the official diversion is 25 miles!
There are shorter, more scenic ways but you'd have a problem if you were a truck driver I expect :-)

Here's one end of the diversion... looks wrong to me!


Also been catching up on the days I was away last week...

I hope they move a bit more quickly at their work thatn this picture would seem to suggest!

I like the vast differances between old & new, Phillip. I certainly hope they get it right as there's not much room for ever.

the road near us was out for 8 months following landslides after the floods in the summer.
The local traders lost a fortune from a lack of passing trade

Is that real 6 weeks or pretend 6 weeks I wonder?..............
