Freelancing in TV, snaps here and there. New dad. Interested in why things are the way they are. Nottingham. 🏹
The speed of that crane work was quite incredible. She's finally in 🙌

We wait for Monday 🤞🏼

Seriously impressive seeing all this come together. Would love to see the process of working out the build, counterweights etc.

The Facebook comments are of course a bin fire. I wonder which bit of Big City Tyres is classed as 'heritage'?

Reading about the latest plan to bury the Hammersmith flyover in a tunnel. The second paragraph is gold, totally ignored by almost everyone even though it applies to 90% of new road building.

It really is very impressive up close. Hard to overstate what this will do for the area, the movement of people is obviously the main benefit, but aesthetically, it puts us on the map.

The #libdems have sat by doing largely nothing for a year trying to come up with a winning strategy.

The strategy: Shall we just say Stop the Boats?

The scale of it is incredibly impressive. Cables arriving soon hopefully, Italian made so I hear.

Full deck in place. It's a thing of beauty. Bring on the arch!

Deck arrangement.

Proper stuff happening now. Big crane and 2x pieces of bridge deck are on site. Happy days.

The stands that will hold the bridge deck during construction are beginning to be put in place. It's going to be massive.

You'll never guess what they're planning to build instead to improve the appearance of the local area...

Last night was something else. Really impressed with the use of the screens too, forget how much tech has improved since 2009!

Richard Ashcroft also belting.

Piling is underway on our side.

Is there not a case for a new river crossing somewhere between LBB and Gunthorpe? Those people travelling from Arnold, Mapperley, Carlton to Radcliffe, Leicester etc all get funnelled through town currently no? I get the "one more lane" argument etc, but there does seem to be an issue there.

Thinking about turning this account into bridge only fans.

Stuff is starting to happen now. East side of the basin fenced off for smaller bridge works and connection of electrical supply. Some great pictures of the bridge popping up on the internet now too. Apparently it's off to Scunthorpe tomorrow for a lick of paint.

Getting the #train anywhere continues to be a very silly business.

Whilst the non-opening of the school is very frustrating, it's equally annoying that nobody considered looking after all the new trees that were planted just a few months ago. Not a single drop of water has been put on them through the spring heatwave. Such a waste.

Plenty going on over the far side now. Haul road incoming too. Had a run to HP yesterday via LBB. This new connection is going to be life changing!

It's vitally important over the next few years to share and laugh loudly at just how ridiculous @reformuk.bsky.social are and will continue to be.

Checked out the new Kushi-Ya venue last week. Excellent as always and the new space is lovely.
