HS2 | World-First box ‘bridge slide’ over the M42

We captured this great feat of engineering by HS2 Ltd using our high specification timelapse systems, and stunning 4k video cameras.
They slid the 12,600 tonne bridge a record 163 metres to position it across a motorway in Warwickshire.
The dramatic operation took 40 hours, at a speed of 4 metres per hour, from Saturday 24 to Monday 26 December.

Perhaps the first time over the M42 but definitely not a world first. Nevertheless always impressive this way of building and sliding into position.
