CRT Re-Build a Bridge...

[one of the hidden]

...so that it ca n fall down again!! x x

[Athy]

Have you any idea where that has happened?

[Arthur Marshall]

Looks like it's had quite a healthy  clonk up on the top, seeing how far some of the stones have gone.

That piece of vehicle 'bumper' may have contributed.

2nd bottom at Buckby????

Meaford by the top lock.

Now I wonder why the OP posted in such an antagonistic, anti-CaRT way without finding out the true facts behind ths damage?

As has been said that looks remarkably like a vehicle strike has caused that damage, so CaRT can in no way be held at fault.

That's a bit of an antagonistic observation. Where did the OP suggest that it was CRT's fault?

By stating that the bridge had fallen down when an impact looks to be the most likely cause.

If so  it normally happens before the mortar has had time to dry from the last repair

A hint of vandalism to me...!

The same happens at Broughton Lock on the Aylesbury Arm.  This is on a handy rat run bypassing Aylesbury and too many drivers are going too fast.  Vehicle knocks the tail bridge parapet down rather than hit the vehicle coming over the bridge and CRT rebuild it.  Sometimes a vehicle is identified and CRT get the insurance.  Mostly it's not.

A sudden gust of gravity would be my guess.

It also happens regularly at Cowroast bridge, this suffered vehicle damage a few years ago and it was extensively repaired under a CRT/Volunteer scheme about 18 months ago. The same parapet was badly damaged a few days ago. 

The repair used a lime mortar mix to match original brickwork and this is not strong enough.

Someones probably cruised past with their window open and their Ecofan did the damage!

[matty40s]

Took more than one ecofan to do this....

No - it was wired up so it was on suck, not blow.

No wonder it fell down then. What was a widebeam doing on the Staffs and Wuster?

Graham, by comparison to your 3000+ posts on here I am but a new boy on the forum but even I have learned that on CWDF everything is CaRT's fault irrespective of whether they had anything to do with it or not!
