This isn't my job site, (plenty of pictures) it is where I go on Sundays with my 18yr old nephew, when work commitements allow. Its a canal restoration project, run purely by volunteers. Some projects are beyond volunteer ability and contractors have to be brought in, as is the case here. It is part 3 of the project to get the canal across the village High St. Not a major highway but still a busy route. This is the building of the bridge. The piles were put in in January. If you scroll to the bottom of the page and work back up it will make more sense. http://www.weyandarun.co.uk/loxwoodbridge-02.php This is the home page. http://www.weyandarun.co.uk if you scroll down and click Restoration, then B2133 Crossing there is a lot of info and pics of what phases 1 & 2 entailed. In a nut shell, a section of canal has been lowered to provide enough headroom to get under the road, hence the new bridge. A new lock has already been built the other side of the road to bring the canal back up to its original level.
