The Red Army Marches On.

The major renovation of Brunel's iconic railway bridge across the Tamar is under way, and the first small section has been completed.
The work is carried out in the 'tents' that have been erected at various points along the superstructure.


When the chipping away of the old paint and the rust, any cutting and welding needed to repair or strengthen, and the careful repainting of the bare metal has been completed, the 'tent' has to be moved along the bridge to the adjoining section.


The Red Army swarm all over their intricate scaffolding structures. When a train approaches they stop building and climb up to a safe position.
