Moors bridge work

THE North Yorkshire

Moors Railway (NYMR) has appointed VolkerLaser as the contractor to carry out the £1.26 million reconstruction work on Bridges 24 and 25 at Goathland, between January and March 2022. The work is part of the NYMR’s £10 million Yorkshire’s Magnificent Journey (YMJ) project. Jim Mawson, operations director for Steel at VolkerLaser, said: “As the new contractor responsible for delivering the project, following the collapse of the previous principal contractor, and after a 12-month delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we will be working tirelessly to deliver a successful outcome.” The NYMR needs a further £300,000 to fund the work on the bridges, finally completing its YMJ projects.
