Some sections of wall are missing/ damaged to spans 
8-12. There is quite a bit of work required to the brick 
end walls of spans 8-12.  

 The land adjacent to spans 8-12 is a little bit 
overgrown, but easily accessible at the moment as the 
vegetation has started to die down. We believe there 
is hardened ground below, or at least there was in 
1994. it's just built up with vegetation and debris 
overtime. The contractor is required to excavate down 
to hardened ground to give us a 2m clear strip 
adjacent to the structure.
