New bridge to span A4130 at Didcot

Oxfordshire County Council has appointed VolkerFitzpatrick to build the Didcot Science Bridge as well as associated infrastructure works.

The three-span Didcot Science Bridge will cross over the existing A4130, the Great Western mainline railway, and Milton Road.

Enabling works, including site clearance, archaeological investigations and utility diversions, are already under way. Main construction is expected to start in the spring and take approximately two years to complete.

VolkerFitzpatrick Strategic Projects Director Paul Lilley, said: “Our team brings extensive experience in delivering complex civil engineering projects, and we look forward to working closely with Oxfordshire County Council and its partners to create infrastructure that will improve journey times, enhance sustainable travel options, and support future growth across the region.”
