The building at 14:22 is a construction shelter with a large steel arch being fabricated inside. It will be swung over the road, there will be a short stretch of concrete viaduct (I believe) and then the bridge you showed pre-assembly a little earlier in the vid.
No, the bridge under the tarpaulin is the bridge for over the road. The Bellingham bridge is as commentated, being built beyond the railway line. The Bellingham bridge will only span the railway; it then transitions into the next bridge (under the tarpaulin) to cross the road.
@@ebsbrown4983 The bridge that will have the lights on it with Arch is under the tarpaulin being constructed, it was shown on a HS2 You tube video last year.
Great flight over the route i didnt know that they were building it in sections at height ,the white covering is over the bridge that is being built which goes over the road
Over the railway, not over the road. The road is easy enough to bridge in small sections, but the railway is such a large span that they need to construct the bridge in its entirety then slowly push it into place.
That white building is a couple of viaducts and steel cross section. When they started covering it about six months ago I presumed it was protection from the elements. Perhaps someone will let us know.
The structure covered by the white tarps and roof will be the Lawley Middleway bridge, running from the patch of land where it's currently being built offline, across Lawley Middleway (the dual carriageway) to the other side, where it will connect to Bellingham Bridge. Interestingly, the section over the canal, on the steel piers, will be concrete (which will make constructing the formwork fun given the lack of access from underneath), likely as it's where the Viaduct starts widening and splitting into four branches for the platform approaches. The protection may be something to do with it being built from weathering steel - the rusty appearance is apparently a deliberate weather protection coating which eliminates the need for painting.

Like several already said. I should have read the comments first!
I appreciate your detailed input regardless if someone already mentioned it! There is plenty more hs2 to come, so I hope to see more!
The bridge is literally at the start of the video under the white tarpaulin.
The temporary structure is the bridge!😂

@ebsbrown4983 I was thinking that! The actual Bellingham bridge is being constructed in that yard where we see all the Metal! Thanks for clarifying 👍

Thanks for your input! That explains the temporary structure then! ✌🏻

@charliep1973 Yes similar to 'Birmingham Bridge' where they wheeled the Bridge into place I think
Couldn't watch all of it, I don't like heights 😅 Great footage.
My channel will make for challenging viewing then 😅🤣🤣
Will you be documenting the new stadium Birmingham city will be having built?
@marksmith1466 Of Course! Hopefully they get started soon! 🙂

@NickIdoine Brilliant Input Nick! Yes let's hope we can have some engagement from some HS2 workers on the videos! ✌🏻

@@mittfh Brilliant Input 👏 👌🏻
Think they're having trouble with the welding on the road over Bridge, not upto scratch, gonna be inspected soon, and on other bridges on HS2,
Right by the s bends. Used to go to street races around there and evade the cops back in the day. Good times lol
Where was my invite!? 🤣
Great video 👍
@PRADOLC2014 Thanks Mate! 🤝
Did you go for a pint at The Woodman?
@robertjones3189 Never been inside, although I am intrigued by the history of the Woodman pub! I've heard its heavily haunted too! 👻
@ lovely old pub, check it out next time you go down to Curzon Street.
