Renovation of Folkestone Harbour swing bridge
The viaduct and swing bridge are being totally renovated
Link
The viaduct and swing bridge are grade II listed structures. Folkestone Harbour viaduct was built in 1843 by the South Eastern Railway Company, and was designed by William Cubitt, Chief Engineer of the line. The structure crosses the harbour with 12 arches to the west (one is hidden by the adjacent jetty access ramp) and 13 arches to the east. The swing bridge, which is included for group value, was designed in 1930 by George Ellson, Chief Engineer for Southern Railway Link
My previous view of TR2335 : Renovation of Folkestone Harbour swing bridge showed the viaduct before the rails had been removed and further scaffolding added. I overheard the contractor say to the onlooker that the rails were going to be reinstated after the renovation had been carried out.
