The footage shows work from February and through July 2024 as the two HS2 railway viaducts are placed over the M42/M6 link roads at Delta Junction in North Warwickshire.
The ‘push’ to move the 158-metre-long ‘West Link Viaduct’ into its final position over both westbound and eastbound motorway link roads took a total of 11 hours over the weekend - but the film has condensed the work undertaken into minutes.
The final operation was completed quicker than planned allowing the motorway link roads to reopen 6.5 hours ahead of schedule.
HS2 Ltd, its main works contractor Balfour Beatty VINCI (BBV) and National Highways collaborated on the engineering feats.
