The work has been underway for a while now. No sign of the old new

it could be a diveunder rather than flyover though.
Definitely a flyover. They should be building quite substantial
embankments either side. A diveunder means closing the line for a long
time, whereas a bridge can be lifted in on a weekend.
Any idea why they are building up embankments?
On the approaches to Amsterdam there is a new line being built on
'stilts' - just like the elevated sections of the M5/6 in the W. Mids.
Surely that way would be much easier, and quicker to build than raising
an embankment to a suitable level?
