Unless they're craning in a bridge or something I can't see why it couldn't
be split over 2 weekends. They managed to rebuild and entire station at

Hey - it's not like it's shut for years as the old ELL was twice in the
past couple of decades...

The old ELL was a fairly useless curiousity for anyone north of the river.
Now it goes to highbury its a major commuter artery.
