Project Outline Murphy successfully completed the demolition and replacement of a 150 year old bridge on Downs Park Road in Hackney, London during a 16 day blockade. The bridge lies within a constrained location surrounded by residential and commercial properties including a Special Needs school, a block of residential flats and a secondary school consisting of 3,000 students. To help mitigate the impact on the community, the project team focused their efforts into the 16 day blockade, during which they installed a 32m long structure with a fanned filler beam deck. The bridge is planned to be re-opened in January 2025.
