2,695-ton Westbury viaduct deck positioned, Turweston abutments complete; HS2 viaducts near Oxfordshire use 'double composite' design to lower carbon emissions.

Construction on two HS2 viaducts near Oxfordshire, the Westbury and Turweston, is progressing significantly. The Westbury viaduct's 2,695-ton deck has been positioned, while the Turweston abutments are complete. Utilizing a 'double composite' design, these structures aim to lower carbon emissions. Both viaducts will facilitate the high-speed railway crossing the River Great Ouse floodplain and may set a precedent for future UK construction projects.
