Network Rail installs 11,000 tonne railway tunnel that weighs more than the Eiffel Towel
  • 3 years ago
An 11,000 tonne curved concrete box has been pushed under the East Coast Main Line near Peterborough, in a first for UK engineering.Over the past nine days, Network Rail teams reached this major milestone in the project to build a new tunnel at Werrington, north of Peterborough, which will enable slower moving freight trains to dive underneath the passenger route and use an adjacent line northwards.Credit: Network Rail
