Summary
| Description |
English: Wentbridge Viaduct Wentbridge Viaduct is one of the finest bridges built in Yorkshire, if not the UK in the 20th Century. It was designed by F.A.(Joe) Sims of the West Riding County Council and completed in 1961. This photograph was taken soon after in June 1963. The total span is 450ft between abutments, which themselves are hollow and truly enormous inside. Having carried out the first Principal Inspection of the bridge in the 1980s, I discovered that the prestressing cables, external to the internal webs of the cellular box deck were at risk of corrosion from road de-icing salt. I introduced measures to remove the risk and protect the cables. More information about the bridge is available on http://www.iht.org/motorway/a1redwenscheme.htm |
