Capturing some history in the making there mate. Nicely done 👌

[@WobblyRunner]

Cheers Mark. It's great to see it unfold

[@maestromanification]

That's great Paul, so nice that it's actually been made in Britain

[@WobblyRunner]

😊

[@psychicspies673]

Yep. A bit less concretey and hopefully more life in the place 😊

[@WobblyRunner]

It actually looks good doesn't it

[@daveattrill2712]

Interesting stuff as usual Paul. Filming a video of the Chesterfield Canal either this Saturday or the one following - is the new bridge likely to be open in time for either, to your knowledge?

[@WobblyRunner]

Oooh good question. It'll certainly to standing. But not sure exactly when it opens yet

[@daveattrill2712]

@@WobblyRunner Likely to be there on the 26th, having seen the weather forecasts for then.

[@psychicspies673]

I’ll never forget arriving at Staveley marina tired and hungry after walking the canal from Chesterfield and finding nothing there at all. Brilliant they are developing it and with the new bridge the canal can be re-opened across the puddle bank. Hooray! Did you talk to the construction guys?

[@WobblyRunner]

Haha no. I was a bit far away.
It's going to look and feel so different isn't it.

I've heard lifting is scheduled for Thursday

[@Hinesenberg]

​@@WobblyRunner I've just had a further update from a neighbour, lifting is scheduled for 11am better get there early for the best view, just incase there's lots of people there

I wonder what the bridge weight is? crane looks small

[@WobblyRunner]

I understand the crane doing the big lift is a bit bigger 🙂
