Solihull HS2 bridge moved into place

Time-lapse footage shows a 900-tonne bridge being moved into place as part of construction for Birmingham's HS2 Interchange station.

The 45-metre structure was installed over the A446 in Solihull and will form part of the area's remodelled road network.

It was lifted into place using a 128-wheeled hydraulic platform.

Work finished on Sunday and HS2 Ltd said it had been achieved ahead of schedule instead of using conventional methods which "would have taken weeks".
