The restoration of the 193-year-old Whorlton Bridge has reached a new milestone as VolkerLaser’s team carefully dismantles the main suspension chains following the safe removal of the timber deck. Built in 1831, Whorlton Bridge is one of the UK’s oldest suspension bridges. Durham County Council and VolkerLaser are committed to balancing preservation with modern techniques, ensuring this piece of engineering history endures for future generations. Shout-out to Chris McHutchison for the great project updates 👏 https://lnkd.in/eBSk_h9B
