A distinctive concrete "finback" bridge will be the focus of a US$48 million design and build contract just awarded to Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering. The 140m bridge will cross a rail route as part of the Entrance Gateway project in East Manchester, north west England. The contract also includes a 35m jacked-box tunnel under the rail line, a light rail station with a 45m landmark copper canopy and a concrete bridge over a new 400m stretch of dual carriageway road.
