    Brief

    Barton High Level Bridge is an 18-span steel-concrete composite bridge carrying the M60 motorway over the Manchester Ship Canal. Originally built in 1960, the bridge comprises two independent deck halves supported by reinforced concrete abutments and hollow-column piers. The structure was widened between 1986-1989 with new edge girders and deck extensions. The widened sections connect to original piers through pin bearings, allowing independent vertical movement while controlling lateral and longitudinal shifts. This opportunity involves bearing adjustment and Category 3 checks for the substructure as part of an Asbestos Impact Plan (AIP) and General Inspection (GI) survey review. The work is essential for managing differential movements between the original and widened sections, with periodic adjustments required to maintain structural integrity and safe operation. Suppliers should have experience with bridge bearing systems, concrete substructure inspection, and working on operational motorway structures.
