\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hundreds of railway engineers have completed the first main phase to replace an important road junction over the Manchester-spur of the West Coast Main Line in Stockport.<\/p>\n

The Greek Street roundabout sits on top of a railway bridge which, at 67 years old, now needs to be completely replaced.<\/p>\n

Last month, the roundabout and parts of nearby roads were closed to all traffic for one year, but this Easter saw an accompanying full railway closure so demolition of the old structure could begin.<\/p>\n

Network Rail and its contractor Murphy worked throughout the four-day bank holiday on tasks which set the huge \u00a320m project up for success when the old bridge is fully removed and new one craned into place this August.<\/p>\n

Today (Tuesday 22 April), Network Rail released behind-the-scenes footage showing some of the vital preparations from track level for the first time.<\/p>\n
