The GE 19 Bridge Push is due to take place over the next Bank Holiday
Weekend. Is it going to appear on webcam? Are there any positions from
which the bridge can easily be observed/photographed whilst it is
being pushed into position? Can any of our technically qualified
contributors offer a commentary on the key elements of the proposed
move?

Where the fxxx is GE 19 bridge ???

Allen Gardens, which is the little park by the old Shoreditch station.

(the bridge has been assembled in the area marked "embankment ramp")

It'll be pulled from the front by winches and pushed from the back by
a "self propelled vehicle". The back half of the deck has been filled
with concrete to act as a counterweight, and there's a long extension
on the front to guide it onto the far side and take the weight.

Thanks for the excellent map. I went there on Thursday (1st May) and took
some photos which are at http://rjnews.fotopic.net in the collection "ELLX
Shoreditch". I plan to take more photos tomorrow (though not during the 4
a.m. session!).
