This is a very well edited video: it's nice to see SPMTs moving at real speed, complete with sound. However, you kept it interesting by editing in some short sped up footage and cutting out repetitive segments. Thank you.

Great skill by all .

Great video! I wonder how much those bridge movers cost. I only wish at the very end they showed the finished product with ALL construction artifacts removed.

I wonder how you change one of those inside tires on that crawler? Especially deep inside the crawler like the 4th or 5th axel. A lot of crawling around I expect. Or raise the bed enough you can get through.

Fascinating

Does make one smile a bit - when they originally built the bridge they did not have all that technology and equipment on site - no heavy lift - a few small cranes and a bunch of bricklayers.

I do like the term "close" for roads which end - in USA it is 'dead end' :) Is it best to do it this way or just tear it to bits in situ?

The video answers that, surely?

I imagine that pigeon thought "WTF"!

good video

Loud noise, cutting torches, big objects moving, but nothing will deter pigeons.

Hello Three Rivers Museum. I would like to buy a copy of this CD if possible. Do you have any information regarding who to contact? Thanks.

all that effort to get it in place and perfectly engineered and then it gets rammed by countless numbers of HGV drivers intent on completely ignoring the height restrictions

(31:26) Is the new bridge sitting on a bunch of 2x4s attached with some PU-foam??! :D

@oldwobble916

Better late than never. The 2x4s are the formwork for the grout underpinning. The foam seals the gap between form and concrete, because the grout is very viscous, like yoghurt.

Needs more "supervisors" in Hi-Viz PPE....

Funny, little tiny bridge. We in Germany widen the street, and they would widen the bridge, too, due to modern train traffic regulations.

I did. Thought it was an excellent video, expertly shot and edited. One of the best construction videos I've seen. Thanks for posting.

Terrahawks..

did cocacola sponsor this video?

Interesting film. But two questions. Why did it need replacing? And why, at the end of the film, under the title "A new bridge for Rickmansworth", does it appear that the left hand abutment has removed the left-hand carriageway? - as evidenced by the offset white line in the road, and also the no entry sign very evident all through - because if the bridge is now one way, then I would have though that a new bridge should have restored the two-way working under the bridge!

DrivermanO the road markings are for a cycle way, it has been one way since the 50’s up towards the building, joining the left entering road moving right towards the Waitrose supermarket. The original bridge had become uneconomical to keep repairing, and a potential hazard. The side arched areas are for pedestrians.

Judging from the posting date, this project is a joke, right? They have enough men and equipment on site, you'd think they were building Hoover Dam. If the rail passengers ever wonder why their ticket prices are so high, here's your answer.

Barhale. Be Safe? What is going on at 23:40 then? A bloke with his hard hat on top of a woolley hat hitting his breaker with some rebar and his mate wondering where his goggles go!!

Seemed a lot of men in "safety equipment" standing about doing nothing - waste of money, surely moving a portable fence for example doesn't take that many men, also I don't see the point of the 'reinforced roadway' when once loaded they drive straight off it onto the ordinary road complete with manholes, cracks, and repaired trenches in it. As usual too many chiefs - typical UK nowadays.

Actually retired now, - but we just used 'common sense' in those days, plus a lot of 'blood sweat and tears', however we still got the job done and with a lot less machinery. Possibly one of the reasons this country is in the state it is in. Once this country was a 'World Leader' in a lot of things, - alas now we import far more than we ever exported even in times gone by. A hard days work never hurt anybody now all they want to do is 'automate' everything.

Fascinating
