The bridge in Castleton - which the country's electricity network relies on - is being replaced
A busy train line and a stretch of the M62 will be completely closed later this year as part of work to rebuild a key railway bridge.
As well as passenger trains, it is a key freight route across the Pennines carrying construction materials and several daily biomass services to Drax power station, near Selby in Yorkshire, which provides power to the national electricity grid. Outside of the full road closure, the motorway will be reduced to three lanes. There will be nightly closures to support the work to the base of the bridge.
