WATCH: Timelapse video of HS2 viaduct construction in Buckinghamshire

HS2 has released time-lapse footage showing the 3,700-tonne deck of the Wendover Dean viaduct being moved almost half a kilometre into position.

WATCH: Work starts on another HS2 viaduct in Northamptonshire

Every major part for the HS2 Edgcote Viaduct will be manufactured off site to reduce its carbon footprint and simplify construction.

A milestone has been reached with the completion of the first of over 50 viaducts that are being constructed as part of the HS2 project.

The images reveal how the eco-friendly bridge will look once complete as it crosses the new railway close to the village of Turweston near Brackley
