Network Rail has been working round the clock for weeks in an intensive effort to restore the collapsed River Thames crossing at Nuneham Viaduct in Oxfordshire. The UK infrastructure agency has achieved a significant milestone in the repair operations, which has been closed since April. The crucial abutment on the south bank of the River Thames has been completely removed, paving the way for the installation of solid foundations for a new structure. This progress brings the restoration of the railway between Didcot and Oxford closer to completion, with a targeted reopening date of Saturday, 10 June.
