I believe it was said that they were on Wet Hire to Universals. And as usual Rex Andrews are doing the beams, Contract for both East and Western ends, somewhere between 800 and 1000 beams total, I beleive that includes these precast box sections for the Viaducts.

Here is a video on the Viaducts.

Excellent photos Robert. The way they use the red and white makes for a great looking crane.

The truck photos are equally good and interesting too.

KW looks fit for purpose and a thousand times better than the Volvo.

Honestly I'd take the Volvo for comfort over the KW.

Brilliant photos, and that D11 is a monster - I can't get over how wide the blade is.

Thanks once again.
