[QUOTE="upnortheast, post: 6942144, member: 3010"] With [USER=39890]@ColinV6[/USER] seriuosly impressive project about complete here is a bit more "bridge porn" We had 2 stone arch bridges over our burn. Designed for horse & cart, both barely 10 ft wide & starting to take harm from the slurry tanker & silage trailers passing over. It did not seem right to destroy the artistry of some stonemasons from circa 1850. A few years ago with the help of my mate, Billy the bald builder we rebuilt the outside arches & walls giving 13 ft clear. A structural engineer gave us a spec for a reinforced concrete deck. We ended up with from a distance looks very similar to how it had looked for 150 years but was robust enough to take modern kit We were chuffed with the end result , --- pity the umbilical hose lads dribbled as they wrapped up today !
