Footbridge installed over A55

Working on behalf of main contractor Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald, Nusteel Structures has installed a 50m-long × 3m-wide cycle/footbridge across the A55/A483 Wrexham interchange, just south of Chester.

The bridge was delivered to site from Nusteel’s Kent fabrication facility in two sections, with both parts already featuring an integrally welded balustrade.

The bridge sections were bolted together on site, before the entire 51t structure was lifted into place by a 500t-capacity crane.
