Default Hammersmith Flyover to reopen to light traffic - BBC News

In message , at 12:36:40
on Fri, 13 Jan 2012, remarked:
There were extensive repairs to the M6 viaduct in the Castle Bromwich
area a couple of years ago, and the A14 flyover across Huntingdon
station is widely regarded as being about to fall down. One of the
bridges at the M6/M1 junction was replaced very recently.

Not sure how many of these are salt related.


Huntingdon viaduct already relies on extensive supplementary steelwork to
support it.


But why does it *need* the support? Is the underlying issue one of salt
corrosion.
