Mumps bridge disappears

As Oldham prepares to see the second half of Mumps bridge disappear this weekend to make way for the Metro, here is a chance to look back at how the engineers tackled phase 1 over August bank holiday weekend in 2010 that brought out the crowds to witness the end of an era.

GMPTE recorded the whole engineering project from high above the bridge as a time-lapse video, so you can see the bridge disappear in 30 seconds!
