Grosvenor Bridge takes the railway to Victoria station across the River Thames. During the latter half of the 1960s the bridge was replaced without closure to rail or river traffic.
These modern days there would be delays, trains cancelled, etc...
The video is so British.

I have remarked numerous times on our road trips how much thought must go into keeping the traffic moving through any large road project.

Very interesting. The fact that they have tidal water height changes really was key to making that "replace in use" strategy work.

Modern day workers here could learn a thing.
Granted the digging by shovel and no PPE while welding does need to change.

Here I think it’s the opposite.
Quite often you will hit a contraflow on the motorway/interstate that will have long stretches of cones to section off work areas. But often you won’t see any working being done, hell, many a time you won’t see any machinery, vans, etc... never mind workers. We hit one section south of Birmingham years ago that went on for 20 miles. 20 miles of cones taking one lane away from a three lane motorway. Ridiculous.
We even had/have a cones hotline to phone to see how long they will be working in that area of to report any damaged or missing cones.

It was a great use of making the environment work for you.

I love these old films, looking back at yester-year and the way things were done, how the announcers, etc... speak and how they dress.

clearly the older guys on the film weren’t use to speaking to camera with their stunted delivery

and their stiffness in the way they stood.
