At long bloody last, the Council have given the Theatre Royal a sign. They've been begging for one for years. Also at long last more than just the glass museum has been identified as worthy of a visit. I hope the exact contents of this sign are replicated at all the other main routes into town AND that one is placed on the motorways.

Lots of piccies of the bridge which now has its ribs in place

This is the view from Burger King



and from Tesco's



from the stadiums North stand car park



looking more closely at the bridge



a lamp post has already been fitted at the top of the ramp close to Tesco's



The bridge in all its glory.



a closer look shows it is no longer being supported and can now truely be called a bridge





looking towards Tesco's from St.Helens town centre side



light fittings going in close to the St.Helens Chamber building on THE SAINTS WAY



finally, look closely at the footpath towards the Kings corner near Tesco's and you can see these holes were lights have yet to be fitted.

Looking Very Classy CM

I hope they put lights on the actual bridge itself highlighting the struts. There's one in Manchester of similar design with lights and it looks classy. Near Albert's Shed and Twisted Med restaurants for those who know.

If you look closely at the ends of the ribs you can see small lights on them. On the underside of the walkway on the seventh picture down you can also see the front and back of two lights. These are located dead centre of the bridge.

Fabulous pics again CM. I was hoping you'd post a few more!

I like the idea of the bridge being lit up. It's a fine bridge and I'm really looking forward to crossing it on 9 December!

Re: Stadium Site pictures : Fri Dec 02, 2011 4:46 pm  

The bridge will look even better on Good Friday with all the Wigan flags draped over it.


Great photos CM. I still haven't received those dvds btw, I'll pm you if I manage to get them.

Some shuttering needs to be done yet around the base of the bridge, and some fancy handrails yet to be fitted on the bridge, the handrails are coming from Portugal.
