The big (iron?) pipe that was below the footway, and not supported by the scaffolding, has gone. Chisholm Trail underpass site.
Waterproofing of precast sections, and significant digging, in progress on south side of Chisholm Trail underpass.
Chisholm Trail river bridge, north compound. Strong site fence has gone while they work on the edge of the site - being replaced by Heras fencing. Good progress too on building up the ramp to the bridge.
'Easy' utilities suspended and undercut, but water main (?) still not addressed: Chisholm Trail underpass works on south side of Newmarket Road
When the culvert is installed and the sheet piles removed, there is still plenty of work to do to link the end of the jetty to the reinstated riverside path.
The sheet-pile enclosure where we think a culvert is being installed for NCN51 to cross the re-aligned Brook. Safety fence, person/equipment lift, and simple bucket etc crane visible - but no way to see progress within.
This is what greets anyone who wants to use the footbridge while the NCN51 riverside jetty and the NCN51 diversion via Newmarket Road are both closed.
Scaffolding to support utilities above works on the Chisholm Trail underpass. Fixtures will be concreted into the four holes in the foreground to make sure that nothing moves while the digging is underway.
Scaffolding will support utilities when the ground underneath is dug out for the Chisholm Trail underpass.
Good progress on groundwork for the Chisholm Trail approach to the north side of the Newmarket Road underpass.
Utilities under the south-side footway, to be negotiated by the Chisholm Trail underpass at Newmarket Road
I think the vehicle at right of shot is on the approach ramp to the Chisholm Trail river bridge - giving an idea of progress so far.
I guess these are piles stabilising the approach ramp to the south side of the Chisholm Trail river bridge
(Presumably) survey marks for the location of the Chisholm Trail bridge over the brook and onto Coldham's Common
Utilities - including a big drain pipe? - revealed under the south side footway at the site of the Chisholm Trail underpass
A (presumably permanent) fender keeps boats away from the NCN51 jetty under rail and Trail bridges, but the (presumably temporary) cones remain.
Beaumont Road gap. Easy to build an attractive active travel route through here and leave the mature trees standing. A route here would shave 1.5km off the route to school, and be entirely on segregated or very low-traffic routes.
Overgrown gap in Beaumont Road for future expansion. An active travel route to Netherhall Farm/GB1 could come through here. Netherhall School is 52m beyond the fenceline. This would provide good access from/to the site from the East.
Designed-for-expansion end of Almoners Avenue. Netherhall Farm site is 15m from the kerb. 39a is on the right. hedge marking end of plot is centre-left.
Best available active travel route from Netherhall Farm (GB1) site. Road designed for exactly this expansion. Provides safe, direct route to shops, schools and town.
Double yellows on Red Cross Lane will contribute to a much-used cycle route near Addenbrooke's, BioMed Campus, and Busway path
Preparations on the south side of Newmarket Road for the Chisholm Trail underpass. The footway diversion is very narrow, and some cyclists are using the roadway.
The full set (?) of precast sections for the sides of the Chisholm Trail underpass at Newmarket Road.
Preparation for the Chisholm Trail underpass at Newmarket Road, with the further-diverted NCN51 route alongside
NCN51 diversion further diverted by preparations for Chisholm Trail underpass. Care needed eastbound where the new alignment mounts the unsatisfactory dropped kerb.
Preparations for Chisholm Trail underpass involve diversion of the temporary NCN51 route. Narrow, but with a 'passing place' part way along.
Looks like evidence of refreshed survey work for alignment of Chisholm Trail at north side of the underpass
At left of shot, two cones and some earthwork which seem to mark the alignment of the south end of the Chisholm Trail underpass Some of the concrete casts are marked with things like NW1 which presumably indicate their placement within ... [more]
Now (02/01/21) fewer culvert components in the compound - but not yet confirmed where the others have gone
Council building, I think, on Fen Road, possibly to be developed with improved access across the Five Trees open space.
Kerbs nerds - I need help! I've had a Local Highways Improvement project approved to make a footpath cycle friendly by dropping a kerb & removing/widening a chicane. Despite some back & forth with the county engineer I haven't succeeded in ... [more]
Still a lot of bits of crane and counterweight on site after installation of Chisholm Trail river bridge
As well as the bearing and sliders previously identified, the Chisholm Trail river bridge appears also to rest - at least for the moment - on a pair of adjustable jacks at each end.
It seems to be quite random whether the infill triangles on the Chisholm Trail river bridge have 2, 3, or 4 fastenings.
New sheet piling now encloses quite a big area, though whether it's the location of the culvert for ncn51 to cross the brook is still not clear.
It is now clear, I think, that the mysterious exposed re-bar on the abutments is to do with interfacing the approach ramp with the bridge surface.
Work in the north compound on Tue 10/11/20 is all to do with shipping out the parts of the big crane, but some lucky chaps have already walked on the new Chisholm Trail river bridge.
Building work in progress on the Barnwell cafe site that is also the location of the Chisholm Trail underpass. Subsequently believed to be for the underpass, not for the cafe building.
New scaffolding, presumably for access to the expansion bearing as the Chisholm Trail river bridge is installed.
Renewed sheet piling to facilitate culvert for ncn51 to cross the brook near the eastern end of the new jetty
Working on the sheet piling that will facilitate the installation of a culvert for ncn51 to cross the realigned brook.
Preparations for the sheet piling that will facilitate installation of a culvert for ncn51 to cross the realigned brook
The three load-bearing blocks, and how they relate to the curved sides, of the Chisholm Trail river bridge.
