Over 8 months, the 3,700-tonne viaduct deck was slid almost half a kilometre uphill into position, it stretches for 450m and was assembled in three stages, ranging from 90m to 180m.
It is one of 50 major viaducts on the HS2 project – which is designed to improve connections between London, Birmingham and the North while freeing up space on the most congested southern end of the existing West Coast Main Line.
