The paper describes the civil engineering works needed to replace the bridge structure originally built in 1890 as part of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway providing an interchange at this site between Kent bound services and the many siding lines, depot and locomotive works that used to be present under the bridge. The scheme involved the construction of five individual cast in situ reinforced concrete boxes and associated permanent way alignment design of all seven tracks (three above and four below) to suit the geometry of the new arrangement, which was successfully implemented during planned line blockages of the railway. The structural integrity of the existing masonry piers that supported the existing superstructure had to be maintained at all times during the phased construction of each box. The existing structure was demolished during a nine day all lines closure of the Kent (Chatham) Lines over the Christmas 2011 period, with the new structure in operation for the New Year. The remaining civil works were completed shortly after in February 2012. |
