Default GE 19 Bridge Push

Is it completely closed now, or just to vehicles?

The OHLE was not removed. *It's visible in my photos* M4 and M7 for example
(taken during the actual move). *Network Rail have been using the closure to
do other things. It was the overrun of their work which caused chaos at
Liverpool Street after the weekend closure when the old GE19 was removed, so
tomorrow will be interesting ...


They appear to be installing a deck over the line north of the
Broadgate Tower, presumably for more development. They're using the
same crane TfL made a big fuss over for the Shoreditch bridge move.

*However, I think it may be the start of a
viaduct to Shoreditch High Street rather than just a short span across the
road.


Correct, as far as I know.
