Abstract: |
In February 2014, Cotswold Archaeology carried out a Level 2 photographic building record of the Belgrave Flyover, Belgrave Road, Leicester. The flyover was built in 1973-4. Its road deck of pre-cast beams (manufactured in Gloucester) was supported by reinforced concrete crossheads on pairs of posts, poured in situ and founded on deep piles. The flyover was found to be in largely original condition, although it had suffered some spalling and exposure of reinforcing bars and seems to have undergone a limited amount of concrete repair. The flyover was typical of the period and type and contained no unusual or innovative systems of construction. A detailed eyewitness description of the construction of the flyover has been incorporated in an appendix to the report. |
