Pretty amazing video from England...... they stationed several time-lapse camera to document the removal and replacement of a railroad overpass over a local highway.

 

Time Lapse - Rail Bridge Replacement, Cow Lane, Reading

 

cool video. interesting how they built the bridge, then just rolled it into place.

Awesome! What the time frame involved here?

 

I've ridden trains through Reading twice, between Bristol, London and return. Good music, BTW!

 

EDIT: so I went to the link and got my answer (amazing the bridge move took only four days!).

 

Upper Cut Productions was commissioned by BAM Nuttall and Network Rail to film a rail bridge reconstruction project in Reading, during the Christmas period of 2011.

 

3 weather-proofed time lapse cameras were installed in various locations to capture the progress of the new bridge construction - they took nearly 1/4million photographs over a 6 month period.

 

Following the short video of the bridge move between 24.12.11 and 28.12.11, this video reveals the full project from the bridge construction to the site clearance after New Year.
