Preston’s Old Tram Bridge is nearly demolished after over a week of hard work.

The demolition began on Tuesday (20 August) with visual pieces of the structure now removed.

It was due to be completed by mid-September, but new progress pictures, by Lee Worthington, show there is not much more to be knocked down.

The replacement of the bridge, which will commence soon after the demolition, is delivered by Preston City Council.

The council is using part of its £20million grant awarded by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), with an additional £1million from Lancashire County Council.

See pictures below of the progress a week into the demolition.
