£9.6m contract for the four-tracking of the West Coast Main Line near Tamworth
The first contract in a series of civil engineering schemes associated with the four-tracking of 14 miles of route on the Trent Valley section of the West Coast Main Line between Tamworth and Armitage in Staffordshire.
The two year programme of works is to be completed in June 2007 and involves the construction of new and replacement structures at the River Tame site to allow for the accommodation of a four-track railway.
A new superstructure is being built parallel to the existing River Tame Bridge (UB86) with the tracks being diverted onto it, after which the original bridge will be demolished.
Works also include widening UB 85, widening of the existing brick flood arches either side of the River Tame Bridge, extension on both sides to an existing culvert including all associated earthworks and drainage.
