John Sisk & Son is the principal contractor appointed by Ballymore Properties to carry out the design and construction of the Leamouth North Bridge.

Sarens used a 1,200t crane to lift the steel structure, which had been fabricated by Thomson Steel.

The asymmetrical design of the bridge made the positioning of the lifting points critical to ensure that it was correctly trimmed during installation.

The bridge will provide access for pedestrians and cyclists between Canning Town Station and Ballymore’s London City Island development, which is under construction in London Docklands.
