360-tonne bridge deployed in Tilbury2 construction

A 360-tonne bridge has been lifted into place as part of construction of a new port for the South East, Tilbury2.

The steel bridge was towed 135 nautical miles from Rotterdam to the Tilbury2 site – a process which took 24 hours – before it was lifted into place.

The approach bridge is the first of three components to be installed over the next few months to create a Roll On-Roll Off facility into the new terminal.
