BBC are now saying there are problems with the bridge:
"Train services at Liverpool Street station have been suspended while
structural engineers inspect a new bridge which has partially collapsed"

I don't think a hard hat would have been much use if that lot had landed on
your head.

:-)
Also on BBC News tonight: "The leaning tower of Pisa has stopped moving for
the first time in its 800-year history." Perhaps the bridge is trying to
make a name for itself as the leaning bridge of Shoreditch.

Four new reinforced concrete pillars, two each side of the cutting as shown
in Richard's picture linked above. Although it seems fairly close above the
cutting walls when you go through on a train, the walls have all been capped
off, and the new bridge is somewhat above the new top level. All the
intermediate pillars between the GEML tracks were removed durng the
Christmas/New Year blockade.
