New Civil Engineer magazine's online version has some interesting pictures
of the widening works on the downstream side of Blackfriars Bridge. So
something really is happening behind all those hoardings...

I expect being able to expand the piers above the waterline was a bit of a
bonus when it came to the detailed design...



A word of warning:

As from 17 March 2010 the New Civil Engineer web site will be
subscription only. To gain access, you will need a subscription to
NCE magazine (£99 peer annum) or be a fully paid-up member of the
Institution of Civil Engineers.

So enjoy it while you can - just for today. ;-)
