Skanska completes major lift as Black Cat flyover takes shape
['Thomas Johnson']
New Civil Engineer
Swedish construction and infrastructure group Skanska has installed 15 large steel beams to form the primary support for the new flyover at the A428 Black Cat junction marking a significant construction milestone on the £1bn improvement scheme.
The wider A428 scheme will upgrade about 16km of road between the Black Cat roundabout near St Neots, in Bedfordshire, and Caxton Gibbet roundabout, in Cambridgeshire.
Because the flyover is angled relative to the A428 approach, temporary support frames known as Megashores were erected as each beam was placed.
Loading…Work at the Black Cat junction has been carried out while keeping surrounding roads open.
Skanska project manager Neil Davison said: “The installation of these bridge beams marks a major milestone for the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet project and is a testament to the dedication and commitment of the entire integrated project team.
