New Kirk Hill Bridge Goes Live

They’re rebuilding the Kirk Hill bridge in Sutton Bonington to handle bigger freight trains and future electric rail—completed in just three overnight shifts after demolishing the old structure over Christmas. A temporary bridge kept essentials running while crews installed 14,000 bricks and reinforced concrete walls. Work is now focused on reconnecting utilities and finishing roads, with closures set to end by July and the whole project wrapping up by September—delivering a major upgrade for rail efficiency and future-proofing the line.
