    The ‘Town Centre Link Bridge’ has been successfully pushed into position, crossing 11 live railway lines at Stratford Regional Station. The bridge weighs 1,600 tonnes and is 128m long and 14m wide.

    The bridge was built on site in three sections which were then moved into position in three stages.

    Olympic Delivery Authority Chairman John Armitt said: ‘The Town Centre Link Bridge is crucial to getting millions of spectators from Stratford town centre to the other side, into the Olympic Park. It will play a key role during the Games and will play a key role in legacy, allowing residents and commuters to walk freely from one side to the other.’
