BBC Video – New A50 dual carriageway bridge built in a weekend

Time lapse footage shows how a bridge was lowered into place over the A50 in Staffordshire in two days.

Six steel beams, each weighing approximately 45 tonnes, were lifted into place by a 750-tonne crane as part of a new bridge over the A50 carriageway at Uttoxeter.

Staffordshire County Council said the work was an important part of the county’s development.
