Mumps Bridge, Oldham demolition time-lapse

We missed this video when it first appeared on YouTube, but it's worth highlighting today due to the quick turnaround on a busy carriageway.

In January this year the iconic Mumps bridge in Oldham was removed over the period of a single weekend. The road was closed from 7pm on Friday, 21st January and re-opened on Monday, 24th January. As you can see, it was a very clean and methodical operation.



The work was contracted out to PP O'Connor and Laing O'Rourke.
