Crossrail railway improvements: Final stage of huge Stockley Flyover opens

A new flyover has been installed at the junction to Heathrow in west London to add capacity to this busy section of the railway. This consists of a new bridge to carry the trains coming from Heathrow over the Great Western main line leading to a viaduct and two ramps to link in with the tracks heading into Paddington. At 120m long, the 1,000-tonne bridge is the largest single-span rail bridge to have been installed anywhere to the west of London since the days of Brunel and the whole structure stretches to more than a mile in length. Around 750 trains will use the flyover every week, increasing capacity at the busy junction to Heathrow. From May 2019, Elizabeth line trains will provide a direct link between the airport and a number of central London locations including the west end, the City and Canary Wharf.
