Blackfriars Bridge widening
 

New Civil Engineer magazine's online version has some interesting pictures
of the widening works on the downstream side of Blackfriars Bridge. So
something really is happening behind all those hoardings...

I expect being able to expand the piers above the waterline was a bit of a
bonus when it came to the detailed design...

A word of warning:

As from 17 March 2010 the New Civil Engineer web site will be
subscription only. To gain access, you will need a subscription to
NCE magazine (£99 peer annum) or be a fully paid-up member of the
Institution of Civil Engineers.

So enjoy it while you can - just for today. ;-)

That's a pity. Their Crossrail information is far better than the official
Crossrail site...

I think I'll spend a while downloading a few drawings...

If you ever need anything from the NCE web site, just ask. ;-)

I see even the I.C.E. appears to do things the BBC way ... in a page

http://www.nce.co.uk/station-over-th...202351.article

linked form the one cited upthread, there is what appears to be a
Connex livery Vep amid the Blackfriars staion that has not been built
yet

EMAP have transitioned a large number of their journals behind a pay
for view barrier including NCE. It is a great pity but is undoubtedly
the shape of things to come.

I wouldn't blame NCE. It's been around for 3 years, some idiot in Network
Rail's PR section probably drew it...
