The bridge deck of the M8 motorway at the Woodside Viaducts between Junctions 16 and 17 is supported by 25 crossheads, each of which rest on two bridge piers as can be seen in the sketch above. Work is currently taking place to install steel supports, known as props, under the viaducts to lift or jack the bridge decks off of the crosshead to allow essential repairs. The existing pier foundations are required to be excavated for the installation of the props. Other works include; the protection of buried utility services such as water and power, as well as ground investigations to confirm foundation conditions and finalise the prop designs. This video shows steel props being installed at one of the locations beneath the westbound viaduct of the M8. These props are designed and constructed off-site and transported to the viaducts to be installed. The crane featured in the video was positioned on either side of the crossheads. The works took place overnight using road closures on the local road network, which reduced any potential disruption to road users and pedestrians during the day.
