The staging is ready for the construction of the arch between B and C 'piers on the eastern lside, and C pier is well advanced. Some 60 piles have to be driven to complete the foundations of D pier. A contractor is at work preparing the approaches on the western side. It is estimated that the bridge will be completed in eight months' time.
