BlytheBridge, UK Blythe Park Bridge forms an important access to a major new business park at Blythe Valley in the UK Midlands.
Arup prepared outline design-and-build documents for the Bridge, a 78 metre span steel arch, carrying a single 7.3 metre wide carriageway with a combined footway and cycleway on each side, protected by vertical concrete traffic barriers, across a busy motorway.
A slide track was constructed to support the remaining superstructure during construction and the 1400 tonne bridge was then slid over the motorway during a single overnight closure.
